I did it on a week day, so not bad. It is a real narrow road with tight twisties. I think I would enjoy that road better in my 330 HP Lotus 7!!

I've always wondered what the Angeles Crest highway looked like, thanks for posting it, it's awesome. How did you manage to avoid Prius traffic and bicyclists?

Could Norcal Bay Area folks - suggest some 3 hour drive 1-way nice routes 45-70 mph various speeds that are not busy just for a nice drive during our nice weather weekend? I'm familiar already with some of the closer golden gate region PCA routes...
Thanks OP the post- too bad some of my favorite routes are SOCAL..

FYI, a group of us had planned to do the Mt Hamilton run a couple of weeks ago. We were warned that it had recently been chip-sealed, and to avoid it through this Summer until it's had a chance to settle.
Local route to me: Hwy 92 East-->Hwy 35 (Skyline Blvd) South (Alice's Restaurant along the way)-->Hwy 9 South--> Hwy 236 North--> Hwy 9 North--> Hwy 35 North--> Hwy 84 West--> Hwy 1 North or South.... There are several other routes within this envelope, Pescadero-La Honda Rd., Stage Rd., Empire Grade. Been running these since my teens, which seems only a few years ago.
Then, of course, there's a whole slew of additional roads in Marin County, and heading East toward Yosemite. If/when you come this way, let us know.

- Joe, those highway 1 routes are great and the ones I've driven similar to some of the local GG REGION drives, thanks again..

BTW, I'm pretty certain this footage of the extremely lust-worthy Shark Werks car was filmed on Mines Rd:
