My Sunday morning drive.

If your ever in the Palm Desert area... I highly recommended it.

Warning! Your passanger might turn green!

looks like fun! I have some time off I may have to head over to the area and check it out. Any good SoCal events coming up?

Dave, any chance of a Google map to your starting point. That looks like a fantastic road for a day trip

That's one of my favorite drives whenever I visit So-Cal !! The last two times though, there was definitely police presence. Just make sure that you don't exceed the speed limit, at least in any populated areas (the flat part on top of the mountain.)

Well...passes...many!....speaking about "green" passengers and curves without an end...after 15 to 20 passes like this - all day long, going up AND down for +5000 feet each, even the driver needs a (long) rest!

Monte BONDONE near TRENTO in the Alps, Italy.

Newport....I agree with you. It has a ton of curves....PS....if you screw up the curves....you are dead. Period. And the altitude sickness going from sea level to 11,000 feet can hit you quick.

Oh... you should come over to the Big Bear Run next Sat....about an hour from Palm Springs. Run the 74 the night before and then out to Big Bear in the AM....

Yeah it is hairy when it's slightly damp... Notice the clouds you can fly into off the cliff in the first photo. I think that pic was taken at 9,000 ft.
