The way points of this motorcycle route:

Castaic

Exit the 5 freeway at Lake Hughes Road, gas up, and then head east towards the mountains.

Ball Point Lookout

Be sure and stop at the parking area and enjoy the great view of the lake and mountains.

Long Downhill

Watch your speed (climb) here :)

Hughes Lake

Turn right on Elizabeth Lake Road. Or, you could turn left onto Pine Canyon Road and do some serious high speed runs.

Watch Your Speed

You're entering the small community of Lake Hughes so please watch your speed.

The Rock Inn

The Rock Inn is on your left. A great place to stop and take a break or get some grub.

Right Turn

Be sure and make the right turn to stay on Elizabeth Lake Road or you'll end up in Palmdale.

San Francisquito Canyon Road

This is a very easy turn to miss, so keep your eyes open for the right turn onto San Francisquito Canyon or you'll end up taking a long and boring cruise to Palmdale.

Green Valley

You're entering the community of Green Valley, so please watch your speed through here.

Spunky Canyon

For a really tight and twisty detour, turn left onto Spunky Canyon Road.

California Aqueduct

On the right is a great place to park and check out how our water gets to L.A.

Begin High Speed Area

This begins a very long and flat stretch than you test your nerve on.

Firemen's camp

Watch for vehicles entering the road here.

Shooting Range

Watch for vehicles here too.

Shooting Range

Watch for cross traffic.

End High Speed Zone

This is a good place to drop anchor as the road starts getting twisty again.

St. Francis Dam

Look to your left to see the remains of the ill-fated St. Francis Dam

Santa Clarita

The fun ends here. Take a right on Copper Hill, then another right on Newhall Ranch Road and you'll be back to the 5 freeway. Or, head across town to Bouquet Canyon for some more great canyon fun.
