The historic portion of the cement highway runs parallel on the east side of the interstate. Templeton Highway exit a few miles north of Santa Clarita, will lead to the south entrance. The north entrance is found by following county route N2 @ Highway 138. No signs designating route, so have some decent maps. Rock slides and road closures are common on this old road. Historic hotel foundations can be found along the Old Ridge Route, which can be excellent places for photo shoots or a decent picnic spot. More specific info can be found on RidgeRoute.com
