Driving Tour of Glorified Laurel Canyon and Residential Streets 4K
Driving on Laurel Canyon and all the more or less significant residential streets that branch out of it, including Kirkwood, Lookout Mountain, Wonderland and Loma Vista Drive.
This 4K video is shot with a wide angle view, so you can see some homes and cliff views.
Sidewalks? What Sidewalks!
If you think it's impossible to have sidewalks in the hills, watch the video of Mt. Olympus, a next door neighborhood, so to say!
Laurel Canyon found itself a nexus of counterculture activity and attitudes in the 1960s, becoming famous as home to many of L.A.'s rock musicians, such as Frank Zappa; Jim Morrison of The Doors; Carole King; The Byrds; Buffalo Springfield; Canned Heat; John Mayall; members of the band The Eagles; the band Love; Neil Young; and Micky Dolenz & Peter Tork of The Monkees. Tork's home was considered one of Laurel Canyon's biggest party houses with all-night, drug-fueled sleepovers well attended by the hippest musicians and movie stars of the era.
John Phillips of the Mamas & the Papas took inspiration from their home in Laurel Canyon in the song "Twelve Thirty" a.k.a. "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon)", released in 1967.
In 1968, John Mayall recorded and released Blues from Laurel Canyonbased on his experiences on a vacation earlier that year.
Famed photographer Henry Diltz was also a resident and used the scenic Canyon backdrop for many of his historic photos of rock musicians casually socializing. Several of his photos became iconic representations of the 1960s & 1970's West Coast music scene and many others became famous album sleeve covers (such as CSN's debut album: Crosby, Stills & Nash - photographed in nearby West Hollywood).
Joni Mitchell, living in the home in the Canyon that was immortalized in the song, "Our House" (1970), written by her then-lover Graham Nash, would use the area and its denizens as inspiration for her third album, Ladies of the Canyon (1970). Crosby, Stills, and Nash are reputed to have first sung together in her living room.
Musician J. Tillman has said that his output under the moniker Father John Misty was partly inspired by a relocation to and personal reinvention in Laurel Canyon. The song "I Went to the Store One Day," from his 2015 album I Love You, Honeybear, recounts the story of how Tillman met his wife, Emma, in the parking lot of the Laurel Canyon Country Store.

You are watching a dash Cam tour of Football Boulevard from San Bernadino city to Sylmar city in California, USA
Foothill Boulevard is a major road in the city and county of Los Angeles, as well as an arterial road in the city and county of San Bernardino, stretching well over 60 miles (97 km) in length, with some notable breaks along the route.
Like its name implies, Foothill Boulevard runs across the foothills of the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains
For much of its length, Foothill Boulevard is the historic Route 66, so many diners and other establishments along the road have been refurbished in a 1950s style, or otherwise trade on the Route 66 association.

Scenic California Drive. Big Sur. Monterey County, California, USA
Driving tour of Big Sur ocean cliffs on the northbound California state route 1 (Pacific Coast Highway)
This portion of Pacific Coast Highway is designated as US Scenic Highways Network
This driving tour takes you from Pacific Valley to Carmel-By-TheSea along CA-1 Pacific Coast Highway
Big Sur Coast Highway is a section of California State Route 1 through the Big Sur region of California that is widely considered to be one of the most scenic driving routes in the United States, if not the world.
It is both a National Scenic Highway and a California Scenic Highway, and was described by Australian painter Francis McComas as the greatest meeting of land and water in the world.
Condé Nast Traveler named State Route 1 through Big Sur one of the top 10 world-famous streets, comparable to Broadway in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris. The road itself is sometimes seen as a destination for visitors.
The Pacific coast road trip is a thing you should probably do at least once in your lifetime.
The views from CA-1 route ocen cliffs are pretty good
The Big Sur portion of Highway 1 is generally considered to include the 71-mile (114 km) segment adjoining the unincorporated region of Big Sur between Malpaso Creek near Carmel Highlands in the north and San Carpóforo Creek near San Simeon in the south.
Prior to its completion, the California coast south of Carmel and north of San Simeon was one of the most remote regions in the state, rivaling at the time nearly any other region in the United States for its difficult access.
In 1920, the 26 mi (42 km) trip from Monterey to the Pfeiffer Ranch in the Big Sur valley in a light spring wagon pulled by two horses could be completed in about 11 hours. A lumber wagon pulled by four horses could make the trip in 13 hours.
The rough road ended in present-day Big Sur Village and could be impassible in winter. There was no road beyond the Pfeiffer Ranch, only a horseback trail connecting the homesteads to the south.
The highway was first proposed by Dr. John L. D. Roberts, a physician who was summoned on April 21, 1894 to treat survivors of the wreck of the 493 tons (447 t) S.S. Los Angeles (originally USRC Wayanda), which had run aground near the Point Sur Light Station about 25 miles (40 km) south of Carmel-by-the-Sea.
The ride on his two-wheeled, horse-drawn cart took him 3 1⁄2 hours, a very fast trip for the day.
Construction began in 1921, ceased for two years in 1926 when funding ran out, and after 18 years of construction, the Carmel–San Simeon Highway was completed in 1937.
The route was incorporated into the state highway system and re-designated as Highway 1 in 1939.
Along with the ocean views, this winding, narrow road, often cut into the face of towering seaside cliffs, dominates the visitors experience of Big Sur.
The stunning views, redwood forests, hiking, beaches, and other recreational opportunities have made Big Sur a popular destination for about 7 million people who live within a days drive and visitors from across the world.
The road is subject to closure during heavy storms.
The drive along Highway 1 has been described as one of the best drives on Earth, and is considered one of the top 10 motorcycle rides in the United States.
Highway 1 was named the most popular drive in California in 2014 by the American Automobile Association.
Condé Nast Traveler named State Route 1 through Big Sur one of the top 10 world-famous streets, comparable to Broadway in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
Most of the nearly 7 million tourists who currently visit Big Sur each year never leave Highway 1, because the adjacent Santa Lucia Range is one of the largest roadless coastal areas in the entire United States; Highway 1 and the Nacimiento-Fergusson Road offer the only paved access into and out of the region.
The beauty of the scenery along the narrow, two-lane road attracts enormous crowds during summer vacation periods and holiday weekends, and traffic is frequently slow.
Visitors have reported to the California Highway Patrol hours-long stop-and-go traffic from Rocky Creek Bridge to Rio Road in Carmel during the Memorial Day weekend.
The highway winds along the western flank of the mountains mostly within sight of the Pacific Ocean, varying from near sea level up to a 1,000-foot (300 m) sheer drop to the water. Most of the highway is extremely narrow, with tight curves, steep shoulders and blind turns. The route offers few or no passing lanes and, along some stretches, very few pullouts.
The sides are occasionally so steep that the shoulders are virtually non-existent.
