One of the wonderful things about living in Southern California is that it’s almost always good driving weather! If you feel like you want to get out but aren’t sure where to go, sometimes a simple scenic drive coupled with the right tunes can turn a blah day into something special.

If you’re looking for the perfect drive, check out these options:
Angeles National Forest
There’s nothing quite like a mountain drive, and Ontario is close to a couple great mountain areas. The Angeles National Forest is only about 40 minutes away, and then you can take a lovely trip up highway 39. Stop along the way for some great photos or a hike and a picnic.
San Bernardino National Forest
Another wonderful mountain drive is to the San Bernardino National Forest. Less than an hour up I-15 and you’ll have more fantastic mountain views with fresh mountain air. Roll down your windows for a great breeze while you cruise through some beautiful scenery.
Huntington Beach or Newport Beach
If a coastal drive is more your speed, there are a few routes to take to get to Pacific Coast Highway. The drive to Huntington Beach or Newport Beach will take you over an hour from Ontario, but once you’re there it will be worth it! Travel along the coast listening to the crashing of waves and smell the fresh ocean air. This is another great opportunity to hop out for a quick stroll or find an outdoor picnic spot.
Chino Hills State Park
Right in our own backyard is Chino Hills State Park. A fantastic opportunity for a quick drive with kids, this outdoor area is close to home and offers some wonderful nature and wildlife views right from your vehicle.
No destination
You don’t need a destination to have a great time on a drive. The roads and weather in SoCal were built for cruising with no particular place in mind. It’s easy to hop on a main road or freeway and just give your car a good run. If you’ve got the right music, podcast or audio book, any drive can become something special.
Do a quick road ready check
Before you head out on the open road, it’s a good idea to confirm your vehicle is ready. Make sure you have plenty of fuel, and that your tires are in good shape. It might be a good idea to check your lights as well, especially if you’re going to be out at or past dusk. Finally, be sure you have anything else you need such as drinks, snacks and your mask and hand sanitizer. Just because you’re not planning on getting out of your car, doesn’t mean you won’t, so being prepared is always the best option.
