The Ultimate Road?
Okay so my objective is to find the best roads in the Santa Monica Mountains.
My list of favorites are: _Decker Canyon Rd aka "the 23" (Bunches and bunches of tight bends, very close together. Pretty damn fun! ) _Latigo Canyon Rd (Bends like decker but spread out so you can catch some speed between them ) _Piuma RD-Las Flores RD (One of the better sight seeing. In view of nature and cars. I see more nice cars on this road than any road.) _Stunt Rd (Not really my favorite road but this is like a gateway to awesomeness) _Tuna Canyon Rd(only the one way part) (This road is just mind thrilling. If you like no rails and signs telling you that the road could collapse at any moment then this is yours. Plus its one way so there is no oncoming traffic!) If you want to find these then google maps is your friend. I want to add more to this glorious list but I just don't know where they are. The trills make it so much better! And now where all you people come in... Whats your Favorites? I want to drive them. |

These are all the same roads that I drive!!
right now Latigo is my favorite, but Tuna is a close second my only gripe about Tuna is that road quality goes to shit as you get close to the coast |

Ortega Highway it a nice road to cruise during the day. Great view of the lake when you get to the end.

The road starts South of Orange County and ends at Lake Elsinore.

Decker happens to be my favorite, BUT if your local to SIMI VALLEY there is a canyon our here called BLACK CANYON and it is one hell of a ride... you have to get to it from valley circle and go up the hill towards rocketdyne, google map it. Also Grimes canyon in moorpark going to Fillmore if really fun, but sandy sometimes because of the quarry

I'm surprised no one has mentioned GMR (Glendora Mountain Road), I've driven most of the roads you mentioned but GMR makes them look tame. GMR has more curves then a fat kid.
check out these videos: [u2b]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y_3q2X5uu64&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y_3q2X5uu64&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/u2b] [u2b]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7WopNapG2Xs&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7WopNapG2Xs&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/u2b]

A great side road to the 74 is the Main divide. When you get to the Forestry fire dept toward elsinore take the next road on the left and go all the way to the campground, it's rarely used and a lot of fun. Some great photoshoot spots too.

It's a myth, because we don't want a ton of idiots finding out about it, and making it congested.
