Donate here to support my work: https://ko-fi.com/goingson In this episode of California Through the Car, we drive on State Route 74, also known as the Ortega Highway on its west side, or the Palms-to-Pines Highway/Scenic Byway on its east side. It runs from I-5 in San Juan Capistrano to the Palm Desert city limits. Along the way, it crosses several big mountain ranges, such as the Santa Ana Mountains and the San Jacinto Mountains. It also serves as an important highway for the communities of southwestern Riverside County, passing through Lake Elsinore, Perris, Menifee, and Hemet. #stateroute74 #roadtrip #california #ortegahighway #palmstopinesscenicbyway TRIP INFO: Length: 115 mi/185 km Time: 2.6 hours Date: August 23, 2024 Camera: Garmin Dash Cam 57 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound.
