We cycled this route in reverse from LA to Big Bear Lake. It’s a beautiful route but pretty heavy on the climbing.

The hardest and coolest part was the section between Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake. An insane road but we were really happy to have done it in the end. Keep in mind that campgrounds are closed in November in this section.
