I live in San Diego and would love to know of any fun roads to drive. Anyone have ideas? Drive to Palm Springs, Julian, other hidden gems with great twisties and not a ton of traffic??? Not looking to street race just have some fun. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

 

The drive through the 76 east of the Pala Casino is fun. I did it yesterday

 

The 78 out to Lulian is an amazing road, of course, when no one is on it or traffic is light. You can always pull over and space out the traffic though. Palomar mountain is also amazing, but has gotten very popular and I heard they were now putting cops out there to nab people ripping up and down it...
Some of the roads out around Jamul are also very nice.

 

Do you guys drive these roads early in the AM so traffic is lighter?

 

I live in La Jolla, nice areas in downtown. Very chill place and a lot of nice people.

 

Lots of rural areas around SD County. Drives through Rancho Santa Fe are fun. The drive out Del Dios Highway and up to Ramona past Wild Animal Park is great. Anywhere out past Ramona towards Julian...you can head north at Dudley's Bakery in Santa Isabel towards Palomar Mountain.Old Highway 80 cutting south to Campo and then back west on Highway 94 is great. Cruising PCH through the beach towns is fun.

 

yes, I try to get on most of the roads around here as the sun is comming up

 

If you come up to South County OC by San Juan Capistrano, take Ortega Hwy. Great at night and around lunch for nice twisties

 

Ya ortega hwy (hwy 74) is a fun road. Can get stuck in traffic tho if you take off at the wrong time of the day.

 

+1 for Julian!!

I went there once during weekdays (forgot the time) and basically there was almost no traffic...

 

Yup, that's when the 78 is absolutly amazing. Stop in Julian for some good BBQ and a fresh slice of pie and then run it again
