Highway 3 from Peanut to Yreka. (36 to 299). Highway 299 from Yreka to Arcata. Highway 49 from Grass Valley to 89 then on to Quincy. Highway 88 from Jackson to Alpine village, then take 89 either direction. Highway 4 from Angels Camp, then take 89 in either direction. Highway 108 from Yosemite Junction to Sonora Junction. (all those east west passes in the Sierras obviously must consider weather.

These are all good ones. A hidden gem in CA; CA 245 in Fresno County near the entrance to Kings Canyon NP.

Sonora Pass is the best in CA! All of the passes over the sierras are great less the big interstates.

When I lived in the Bay Area one of my favorite rides was Hwy 9/Skyline Drive! Also the back roads between Livermore and Morgan Hill /San Jose. You could combine a trip with Hwy 1 between Half Moon Bay abd Santa Cruz using Hwy 9. Hwys 152 and 25 near Gilroy are also beautiful!

A very valuable video

Another ride in the southern Central Valley is to take highway 178 from Bakersfield up to Lake Isabella, and then cut back to the CV on highway 155 (which is closed seasonally due to snow). it takes you from about 400 feet in elevation up to 6100 feet at the highest point. You also are next to the Kern River for the first half-ish of the ride, which is amazing in its own right, and then the middle to about 3/4 of the ride is in the Southern Sierra Nevadas with pine trees and a few mountain streams.

Great roads all over California. Hwy 89 is one of my favorites. Especially the part that runs thru Lassen volcanic national park

Highway 1 between san francisco and santa cruz is one of my favorite roads. One thing to note, it can extremely foggy and cold on highway 1.

Hwy 58 is another great ride. From Santa Margarita to Bartow.

Another great video, thanks!

as a californian who knows all these roads. I approve of this message. I recommend for most of these roads to plan motocamping. It's just much easier as California can usually very crowded or very sparse in these areas. If you have an ADV bike you can even take the Usal Road instead of the Matole road as an example and camp along the way, which is unpaved but you will never forget it. Absolutely breathtaking.

Real awesome suggestions. Thank you for all you do, and recommend.....certainly enough to keep us busy for the year! Cheers!

for someone like me living here in east asia who grew up watching western movies and series for me California is the most beautiful state in america, not perfect but still its the most beautiful place to ride a ride. it's my dream to ride there and i hope someday!

Ortega is pronounced with the second syllable rhyming with day.

Rode Hwy 33N about a month ago. Awesome road, but had a couple spots where you had to stop for one way traffic. The longest wait was 15 minutes, but all in all worth it. I was surprised with blowing snow once I reached the summit. Always good when you can improve your riding skills as I’m sure I did.

Ortega Hwy is undergoing major road work. They are widening the road and adding safety barriers. It is closed a lot of the time and when it's open its a controlled traffic route. I live about 20 minutes from Lake Elsinore and unfortunately this route is off our schedule for the few years. But yes, it's a great ride.

Another great video! I have been living in California for years and I have not been on several of the roads in this video. Can't wait to check them out.

74 to the 310. Great valley ride.

State Route 2, Angeles Crest did not make the list? Or is it a bit overdone already? I drove it by car a few years back from east to west and it was impressive in many ways. It was the middle of the week in the morning before 10 am and it was very quiet, no traffic. Great views, good corners, and a wild swing in temps between the mountain ridge compared to the L.A basin below. It was over 100 F in L.A., but only 54 F at the highest point on Angeles Crest.

Newton B Drury parkway😊

Route 128 to Hwy 1 from Hwy 101 is 77 mile's of forest's & valley's,Spazz in Cali.

Good list! Cant fault your choices; been on all of them =). Riding California for over 50 years, there are dozens of roads that could be considered highlights...243, 79, 155, 190, 58, 198, 25...and way too many in NorCal to mention. Have family in Redding, and did the 36-299 loop in 22 (Heading up to Garbervillein June, spending a week day riding from there). I ride an adv-bike, and Cali offers a lot of great off-road options to combine with the pavement. As for Highway 1: Was there last week (have friends in the area) and it is closed at Limekiln (they MIGHT have it open by June). Still a great section coming up from Cambria, but due to work on the slides and other repairs, there are BIG trucks (trains of them) running all day, Monday through Saturday (they flag the tighter sections off for them because they use ALL the road). On the plus side, not many people venture past Ragged Point, and it's pretty empty after 5 pm. Someday, they will re-open Nacimiento-Ferguson Road and all will be right in the world... As for 33: I live near Ojai... fortunately still open, but expect five traffic signal controlled single-lane sections, and heavy construction equipment Mon-Fri.

I find it a bit funny you mention Leggett to the Or border , leaving out the section leading up to Leggett from Fort Bragg

Thank you !!!

California state Route 168 is a lonely & amazing Drive

Awesome video. Thanks for featuring some of my footage.

Hwy 160 following Sacramento River 😊

Any part of hwy 49 and of course hwy 1 is the best

It's borderline criminal that Angeles Crest Hwy and San Gabriel Canyon Rd aren't on this list.

I find a discrepancy on this hwy 33 part of your video, information appears to be wrong- San Luis Obispo is no where close to the one shown in the video- kindly correct this.

Check out Mosquito Ridge Rd east of Foresthill.

1) Hwy 1 - Big Sur from Carmel to San Simeon, 2) Hwy 128 from Coverdale to Mendocino, 3) Avenue of the Giants, 4) Hwy 1 from Tamalpias Junction to Tomales (best ride in NorCal IMHO), 5) Hwy 1 from Dehaven to Leggett (stunning NorCal coast then into never-ending twisties into the forest), 6) Hwy 162 from Quincy - past Bucks Lake - to Lake Oroville (fast and fun)

The verbal description of Ortega hwy is East bound describes Palm to Pines Hwy. Ortega is West bound starting at Lake Elsinore, ending at San Juan Capistrano.

hwy 1 if you like cars going 8 mph, really bad drivers and road blocks

and Where is Angeles Crest Hwy????? this list is crap

Ortega?????? Ortega is a shitty road
