please excuse the noob here...i live in so cal as well in victorville area north of san bernardino and love driving the back highway through the mountain and around silverwood lake...gotta get to palomar for sure just need a little direction LOL...i figure the 15 south obviously, then where? thanks.

i don't know the exact road by road way to get there since my 1st visit. now its like a salmon swimming up stream for me, i just know how to get there from where i'm at.

seriously though, just type in palomar obervatory on mapquest and it will give you exact directions. you take S6 to get there and at the end of S6 you take a right on the intersection to go to S7 and left takes you to the observatory.

this site should have the address.

That is more like Cherohala Skyway - high speeds and sharp cuves all on one road.
The Dragon is considerably slower, but has constant switchbacks and short straights to get up to 80 or so and then hard on the brakes again.

Your road looks like a blast!

isnt their a road somewhere around escondido with quite a few twisties and turns???

hopefully you didn't just see the S7 video.

after seeing some of the videos i posted its really hard to tell what to expect especially with all of them going up on S6. its one of those things you have to drive it to see what i'm talking about going downhill on S6.

Hey TRD, you should do one of the runs coming up...

Ive driven both Palomar and The Dragon.. I like Palomar, the views are better, and Im sure im gonna get flamed from all the east coast guys.

well I agree about the views. The dragon has no view. But the view is really not what I go for...

It's not famous because it's in the middle of no where, but this is my road. I'm the 1st house on the Leggett side.

Perfectly paved, beautiful scenery, and twisty as hell! My ex used to say if it were any twistyer it would be going in circles. My vote for best driving road in Cal, just don't tkae a passenger or
