What are some fun roads in southern cali that are scenic? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So pretty much what the title asks.
Was wondering where some nice fresh air would be and some fun windy roads are - windier the better - 5 mph turns welcome.

Topanga Canyon Road
PCH between Goleta and Santa Barbara
Turnbull Canyon Road
Santiago Canyon Road
133 Between 405 and PCH

Little Tijunga Canyon and Angeles Crest Highway are both good options in SoCal. Mulholland Drive is always good too.

I went to Turnbull a few times, I honestly didn't find it very fun... Too short and populated for me :/.

my fav spot in ORTEGA HIGHWAY from 5 freeway to lake elsinore its a short trip maybe 2 hours up and back but all switchbacks. but leave early and watch for bikers they use it alot.later in day be prepared to use turn outs cause there no place to pass.

Only half of turnbull is any fun and it's too short to bother driving more than 10 minutes to get there.

Northern / Central, so you might not be interested, but... "Little Dragon" HWY 49 from Bear Valley to Coulterville.
