A nice windy and scenic road connecting Ramona to Santa Ysabel, passing through the Mesa Grande Indian Reservation. The road ranges from nicely graded, wide dirt road, to narrow shelf road with blind turns. There views are stunning and quite memorable with places to pull off an enjoy them.
The road consists of finely ground granite/DG on top of hard-packed dirt, so it can get a little rutted with rain. Since this road is graded, virtually any street-legal vehicle can traverse it, but motorcycles should use extreme caution, as motorcycle tires, especially those with more aggressive tread, can easily lose traction.
The hardest part of this road are the narrow blind turns, which also make it quite unique. Take them slow, honk your horn, and you'll be fine.
While this isn't a road that requires high clearance or 4WD, it does provide an opportunity to traverse part of the county off-pavement.
There are no spots for camping along this route.
