I need a stretch of twisties to test-out my KSport coilovers after this weekend. I will give it a week or so to settle then I am game to try out this awesome road. Post a meet when ready.

yep, it's open all the way through wrightwood. the only part that is closed (as far as i know) is from mt. wilson down to La Canada.

There were a few HUGE rocks on the road: a couple were size of mellons, but the road is relatively clean and nicely repaved.

definitely a great place to test your suspension and have a little fun without having to go crazy fast.

a little, or big, E60 caravan through ACH sounds like a great idea

anyone not famaliar, here's what it looks like

Great pics.

Yeah you So Cal folks should organize a twisties driving meet. Between Angeles Crest, the Glendora highway, Decker Canyon Road, Latigo Canyon Road and so many others, you are blessed with so many serious twisties.
