twisty/scenic roads around LA?

I know theres Angeles Crest (but closed off), GMR (went there last week ago), and PCH (too lazy to drive that far ). Anyone else know of any other places to drive around?

Stunt Road & Piuma in Malibu. They make for an awesome twisty driving experience but please be careful out there...

You can actually still go up to angeles crest, but from tujunga rather than La Canada b/c its closed off, in the end you connect to the same road, still some very nice roads, all the way to palmdale ...

Guys, what are your top-3 pics within 45 miles of Beverly Hills?

Malibu has always been a pain for me because of two reasons:

1) CHP
2) Traffic (aka idiots in Prius')

Traffic is very minor on Piuma rd, las flores, tuna canyon (1 way, basically no traffic) and they are great canyons to drive on.

Yes, angeles crest was closed couple of weeks ago, not sure if they have opened it up yet.

Just google angeles crest hwy, pretty easy to get up there.


Hope that helps
