So you’re interested in the Old Ridge Route? We’re so happy to have you along for the ride!
The best location to see the Old Ridge Route by vehicle is from the north end. Exit the 5 (North from LA, South from Bakersfield) at the 138, continue just past Quail Lake and on the right will be the Old Ridge Route. Here you can experience the ruins of Sandberg’s Summit Hotel, Granite Gate, Liebre Summit, and the iconic arch of the Tumble Inn.

If you are a cyclist, the road is a great ride with incredible views. The most common route is climbing up the Old Ridge Route from Castaic, cutting across at Pine Canyon Road and then completing the circle with Lake Hughes Road.
How to get involved
We hold volunteer days about once a month, weather permitting. Dates can be found on the Events page. If you live far or are not physically able to be there, no fear! We are always looking for donations, help with grants, social media, and planning. Memberships are also a great way to support as the membership fees go towards road repairs.
The RRPO can arrange for guided viewing of the road for members and groups. Scouts, vintage car clubs, historians and geological groups have all given the road a visit and taken in the beauty and history. This is of no cost but we greatly appreciate donations.
