Mount Baldy via Glendora
Nestled in the San Gabriel Mountains and offering 12 miles of well-maintained, low-traffic twisties, Glendora Ridge Road is definitely one of the best kept secrets in southern California. And it’s not just 12 miles, but 12 miles and 234 curves through some of the most beautiful country imaginable. The striking thing about this road is its simultaneous desolation and nearness to civilization, as Glendora Ridge Road is only 45 minutes from downtown Los Angeles.
