Ortega Hwy

ccordex00 · Jul 30, 2009

I just came back from Ortega Hwy (74) off the 5 freeway...it's a cool mountain road that goes for around 14 miles...No cops and really chill...some sections are a little tricky because of speed and suspension setup but not dangerous if you drive responsible. The only problem was that there are only 5-6 spots where you can gather people for a photoshoot but it's still a nice place to go.
I met some teggy, 240's and civic drivers up there and they told me that they been driving there for a long time and so far no problems with cops or accidents.
I hope more members can go to Ortega Hwy and have fun with their accords!
Peace! :beer:

ccordex00 · Jul 30, 2009

night time was cool...not too many cars and you can easily spot cars going up or downhill

Chileno... see, I told you that was a nice ride down there. It starts off Interstate 5 all the way into Lake Elsinore at the lake. It's about a 50-60 minute ride all the way through one way. Saturday or Sunday before sundown would be nice.
