along with west dr, east skyline dr and two dirty miles of the schabarum/skyline trail for giggles (on the conti gp5000 '23's). great clear views today

Ah probably my favorite J Geils song. Since you're driving in may I suggest parking at the Brea Sports Park on the N side of Birch St. just W of Valencia. From there take Birch W to St. College N. You can continue up Brea Cyn Rd or continue E (now Central) to Puente up to Whittier Blvd. then to wherever you're headed in the hills. If you feel like riding Carbon Cyn Road it's the next street N of Birch- Lambert Rd. becomes CCR at Valencia.
