Anyone here driven on Mt. Baldy rd?

I'm pretty bored over here and I'm looking at google maps and this road in particular stood out, it looks like a lot of fun :)

See for yourself:

the road is cool but you can't get up there at least 6-8 months out of the year, with all the fires and mudslides! :hitler:

Aw shit, should have figured that. Well what else is good out here, I've been on Ortega Hwy and was not feeling all the traffic that was on it :hitler:

You should just come out to one of our clandestine drives that we have once a month, they are plenty fun and full of twistitties! :D

yea mt baldy road is pretty fun, not too skinny either.
silverado canyon is a pretty fun drive, with lots of places to turn that lead to nowhere that are also fun to drive on. this is 5 min from my house.

ortega, always has traffic...

I've only been on baldy once; nice road, would drive again :thumbsup:

There isnt a LOT around me other than going up to Big Bear or Arrohead.
Ortega is fun, at like 2AM!

Man, back in the 80s, on 2 wheels with gas being like under a buck a gallon, I used to do Mt. Baldy or hiway 38 out to Big Bear...just to have something to do.

It was always so pretty. Is it as nice now? I always went on like tuesday mornings so I didn't get all pissed off at the retards.

its a very nice drive, very pretty still. but you have to go at the right time or else theres a shitload of peope on the sides of the road and stuff.

isn't silverado canyon an off-roading trail?

[dreamer420]

no, if you take el toro (my street) it goes and forks 2 directions before the canyon starts. go right and its trabuco canyon and there is an off road trail near the end of it(holy jim's), but there is still a paved road.
go left and its silverado canyon is a much longer drive than trabuco(15 min) its a 55mph 2 lane road. there are many turn offs to neighborhoods, trails, rv parks, etc. not much to off road on that road.

Nice steep uphill with sharp corners.

uncle leaves down the baseline from it, if you want a road to drive...which I rode with my bike ... is Palomar

I've been up that a few times. GMR is another good one in that area. I have lots of good roads east and southeast of me in Temecula.

I live like 3 minutes away from Baldy road. It's nice. Ridge (connects baldy rd to GMR) is ridiculous. Let me know if you're going for a run there.
