California State Route 2

Los Angeles

California State Route 2 is a state highway stretching across Southern California that ranks among the most scenic drives in the Greater Los Angeles area. A particularly popular section runs through the San Gabriel Mountains — known as the Angeles Crest Highway — winding through dense forest, alongside canyons, and across high plateaus with sweeping views to the horizon. Designated as an official route in 1934, SR-2 connects urban areas such as La Cañada Flintridge with remote mountain regions and recreation areas. For motorcyclists, drivers, cyclists, and hikers alike, it is one of the most popular escapes from the urban bustle of the LA metropolis.

An evening here — whether for sport or music — is as close to the beating heart of Los Angeles as it gets.
