This Is America’s Greatest Secret Road | Jalopnik Investigates

California State Route 33 is a piece of driving nirvana, so why does no one talk about it?

Watch more from Fusion friends:

Noooo! Don't publicize my favorite road!! You'll make it busy!

I'm a Ventura county native and ever since I can remember we always took a ride up to 33 to decompress and reconnect after a trying day.

hwy 36 from humboldt county to redding ca is amazing. driven it thousands of times and it is super dangerous in spots and beautiful everywhere.

It’s still relatively untraveled with Sunday being the busiest of the week. Last Monday I watched 15 different super cars nose to tail run past Wheeler Gorge campground where I work as CampHost. Two days later two Ferrari’s went racing by one gray and one white I saw them a few hours later coming back down 33 headed towards Ojai. Except they were both on flat bed tow trucks with both back ends twisted and mangled.

Every driver on the West Coast knows it is a drivers secret. Why in the hell would you make it a Jalopnik video? As a car guy and long time subscriber I am not really stoked on this video. You didn't even do it justice with the video. You simply made a promo video out of it. Not disliked but definitely not liked.

People complaining about the road being spoiled... like seriously? How many of you actually live anywhere near Ventura County? I live in Los Angeles, and making it out to this road is somewhat of a trip

[Terminxman]

Well it's not going to be so great when there's traffic...smart move

[toshibavoodoo]

What a great video!! I live in CA and always look for great, top down roads!

MORE PLEASE...

Now every one wants to drive through the road and it became a celebrity.

[hugh-johnfleming]

And on 33 you gotta be so careful of teeny boppers on crotch rockets riding way over their skill level.

I went on that road after Monterey Car week, headed to LA, and it was empty and awesome. Jalopnik, should've kept it a secret.

[BrunoO]

I can already see everyone going for a fast ride on an 'empty' road and 30 head-on collisions magically occurring.

[angry.]

This road isn't what it used to be and the traffic is a nightmare.

[alvarok]

There's no cell service up there at all. Anybody that knows the road well goes prepared. Tempted to go see how much added traffic there is this weekend.

[edmfperez]

this production quality is amazing! keep up the great work

[killersushi]

I saw 50 BMW's all going to Route 33. Its ok they wont have to use their turn signal.

[ramos]

Snap. Y'all really did ruin it. I live near Six Flags so roughly 30mins away from Ventura if that. HWY 33 here I come!!!

EDIT: Honestly to any of you close to Santa Clarita it's located perfectly. We have little tujunga, san francisquito, bouquet canyon road, Angeles crest and the snake all within an hour or less and now love California.

[C-NoteMac]

Watch out for all the random rocks always falling in the road on 33.

[misterldschool]

wow i never though i would see a video of the road iv been driving/riding for years. crashed my first car out there 8 years ago lol still ride this road regularly.

Chp is enforcing 33 and Lockwood Valley Road heavily now due to all the complaints from residents about car clubs racing and speeding through the area.
