CA-142, Yorba Linda to Chino


My wife and I found this road 10 years ago when she was my girl. It took us another 10 to find it again. Found it the same way we did the first time; by day-tripping and getting lost with nowhere to go but forward.
This time, the fires of a couple years ago have done away with the abandoned, 60's hot-spring spa. But the twistys, slow curves, wide open space and cows are a welcome relief from the bustle of Orange County. If you're looking for knee-dragging fun, I haven't found a time of day for it yet. Seems like too much of a thoroughfair after 5pm during the week and weekends about the same. Mainly a cruise route in the open air with plenty of places to stop, spread out and just breath.

Directions:
Head out towards Yorba Linda anyway you can, hit Lambert and head East. Lambert becomes Carbon Canyon Road. 30-40 minutes of taking it easy, taking in the scenery dumps you out in Chino.
Turn around and enjoy it in reverse or hang a right on Chino Hills Pkwy to the 71East/South towards the 91 and you're headed back to the nuts of Orange County.


Enjoy and GET LOST!
