Road Scenery: 
|
|
This
road takes you through the Cleveland National Forest between
San Juan Capistrano, CA and to Lake Elsinore, CA. You'll
pass through some great mountain/valley scenery as you descend
and climb through the national forest. In addition to mountains
you'll see some lush plant nurseries and pass through some
alpine forest areas. When you finally reach the end (near
Lake Elsinore) you will truly be amazed at the breathtaking
view of Mt. Elsinore as route 74 sits thousands of feet
above the lake and its valley. 74 then quickly descends
down to the lake and town.

Road Quality:
|
|
The
roads have a great combination of sweeping turns and twisties.
It has a nice section that puts together a series of 180
degree turns as you quickly climb up a mountain. The part
of the road near the end and dumps you down into the Lake
Elsinore is full of great turns as well. When I was out
there, there were more bikes than cars as this truly is
a favorite ride in southern California for bikes.

Roadside Amenities: 
|
|
There
is not too much to do in the way off "Roadside Amenities"
however there are two bar/diner places along the route that
cater specifically to the bike crowd. One of them is called
Hell's kitchen and it caters to the cruiser/Harley crowd
and the other is the "Lookout Roadhouse" which
seems to attract more of the sport bike guys/girls. Other
than that the town of Lake Elsinore has plenty of places
to grab a bite and get your tank filled up.
