i'll join next time you guys drive the malibu canyons...
i typically run up latigo from pch, down mulholland from kanan rd to las virgenes rd, and then to piuma + schueren up to the topanga lookout trailhead... roughly 30 miles total.

Todays Angeles crest run with Bryan he showed up on yellow RS.
We went up angeles crest down to big Tujunga to tapanga canyon to PCH and took sunset back to LA. It was great run, had fun and learned few things here and there. I'm working next weekends but if I can make it im down to roll with you guys. Few pics from our run. Also recorded vid I'll post as soon as i get it on youtube. Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk |

is that the only road in the vicinity?
what makes the malibu roads great is that there are various roads with varying difficulty and traffic levels, which makes it exciting and there is a road right for every skill level/car. i read up a little bit on ortega, but it seems like there is tons of traffic throughout the whole day and the only "right" time to go is late at night, which i am not a fan of... are there any other roads in the area that are worth driving with much less traffic?

yeah during the day it is busy with people, so i only go at night for ortega. It isnt too difficult, it has higher speeds than other windy canyons like ach. yeah malibu canyons are better than ortega. but its still worth to check out

yea, from the looks of it, ortega definitely seems to fall into the same category as ach...
i'm not a fan of going fast on a straight away and the fr-s is not made for that... i wouldn't say it's more dangerous, but there are plenty of other roads to do that. santiago and live oak doesn't look too technical at all, at least from what i can see on a map... i don't want to drive all the way down there for a few twists and turns, haha i'm sure it will still be pretty fun if we can get a small group of us to go out there to enjoy the drive and snap a few scenic pix :]
