A long, sweeping mountain road in the San Gabriels above Los Angeles.
CA 2 climbs out of La Cañada Flintridge into the San Gabriel Mountains, winding for miles along the ridgelines of the Angeles National Forest toward Wrightwood, a driver's and rider's favourite high above the LA basin. Mind the cyclists and motorbikes, the rockfall, and sections that close for snow in winter.
