3. Angeles Crest Highway (MODERATE)
This is a ride that is not to be missed. Head north of downtown L.A., where you’ll find the entrance to Highway 2. This will take you all the way to Angeles Crest Highway. Here, windy roads will be your guide up to the Angeles National Forest. (Can you believe this amazing forest lies just north of the city?) This road is quite populated by motorcyclists, and you will have nothing but fun getting to your destination.
4. Mulholland Drive (MODERATE-DIFFICULT)
Mulholland Drive is easily one of the best roads for motorcyclists out there. It runs through the very heart of the city and allows you to race across the picturesque mountains while savoring the view of Hollywood. Moreover, you’ll be able to steal quick glances of the valley as well. If you start at Mulholland and Cahuenga, make sure you drive past the 405, into the hills above Encino. Don’t forget to take some quick photos, either. You’ll see the beautiful Laurel Canyon, Coldwater Canyon, and Beverly Glen if you take any of the canyon roads.
5. The Snake to the Rock Store (MODERATE-DIFFICULT)
One of the most beloved routes among motorcyclists, the Snake to the Rock Store is a must-do trip. Use the Mulholland Highway (not Mulholland Drive, that’s a different route) in Malibu, which will lead you to many scenic places. You can easily go to the amazing beach; take the 101 South and exit on Topanga Canyon South, then turn right onto Mulholland Drive and go left onto Mulholland Highway. Just stay on the road, and it will take you right up to the beach!
