When you’re sitting behind the wheel of a beautiful exotic rental car, all you want to do is find a good long stretch of tarmac where you can open up the taps a bit, and experience what the machine is truly capable of.
But this can be quite difficult in downtown LA, where the traffic is always heavy. However, one of the many perks of Los Angeles is its proximity to beautiful natural scenery. A beautiful driving road with access to some lush greenery, wilderness, and of course, the Pacific Ocean, is never far away.
So, if you really want to get the maximum driving pleasure from your exotic car rental in LA, here are some of the most scenic driving routes in and around LA.
Angeles Crest Highway
An extension of Highway 2 at the city’s north, the Angeles Crest Highway is a scenic drive that dissects through the cozy town of La Canada Flintridge, and takes you right into the San Gabriel Mountain Range. The highway provides some breathtaking views of the city and the San Gabriel Mountains. If you’re looking for a great picnic spot, the 5,710-feet high Mount Wilson also falls on this route. A popular tourist spot, the mountain is famed for its observatory which has 2 historic telescopes.
Mullholland Drive
This world-famous 21 mile-long stretch of highway has been used as the backdrop of innumerable Hollywood romantic scenes – and it’s easy to see why. The drive will take you from the city to the beaches that lie across the Santa Monica Mountains, offering some spellbinding views of the famous Hollywood sign and the surrounding San Fernando Valley before culminating at the stunning Leo Carrillo State Park on the Gold Coast.
Palos Verdes Drive
A 14 mile-long stretch of coastal perfection, this scenic drive begins on the outskirts of the city and culminates at the Palos Verdes Peninsula. There’s also an alternate route that’ll take you to the Point Vicente Lighthouse, the Abalone Cove, the Malaga Cove, and the Wayfarers Chapel.
In addition to some stunning views of the Pacific, the drive offers countless activities to visitors, including golf, horseback riding, and surfing. And if you’re into hiking, make sure you check out the cliffs of Inspiration Point and Portuguese Bend just south of the Abalone Cove.
