    Best Driving Roads in Socal

    Hi everyone,

    I am new to the BMW family, and I'm interested in what driving roads are favorited? I'm looking for a nice drive with the wife. We are in North Orange County.

    thanks,

    There's a few I like that are relatively short <30 min
    1. Carbon Canyon Road (Brea to Chino Hills through Sleepy Hollow). Best to go at night as there are bicyclists in the morning and lots of cars during the day. This will probably be the closest to you.
    2. Santiago Canyon. Further south from you, starts in Orange to Lake Forest.
    3. Ortega Highway. The furthest from you and the longest, but apparently the most fun (I haven't gone myself yet).
    I'm sure others may have better inputs, but those are the three best that I'm aware of. Also going on a PCH cruise this Sunday, which is great for the views, but not really a canyon/backroad type obviously.
