I used to live in San Diego back from 1988-1992, i always loved Southern California. I never got to drive Laurel Canyon but i know how beautiful it is to experience driving through certain parts. I live now back on the East Coast but i do miss the beauty of Southern Cal. This drive would be an awesome with a motorcycle day or night.....such perfect weather , roads and landscape.
Moved from L.A. 30 years ago so it's interesting to see how things have aged in that time. One memory of Laurel Canyon is etched in my brain. Circa 1980 I had a girl friend that lived in Van Nuys and drove an enormous Ford Torino land yacht. One Saturday she suggested we go to the Art museum (La Brea tar pits) and said she'd drive. It's the only time we went anywhere in her enormous land yacht Ford Torino. We drove to the museum via Laurel Canyon. As soon as the road had the slightest curve she slowed down to 15mph. By the time we got to Crescent Heights we were in double digits of middle fingers. Not a keeper . . .
Jeeesh! Am a boomer born Santa Monica growing up in a funky Malibu beach house of a mom who took up surfing in the 50’s while my dad drove PCH to downtown work … but we left in 1963 for North Shore Oahu … and over the decades I used to return just visiting to where I grew up remembering the terror of Malibu fires for a young girl … pondering it all as it was also such a huge turning point in the music world of our generation. Tons of all the good, bad & horrific return sitting your passenger seat of concrete passages … remember how my dad declared PCH & LA too crowded in the early 60’s … 😂… mahalo nui for the ride back through memory lanes!
Mile after mile of sameness. I am surprised how many homes are practically feet away from the highway. And the huge bushes hanging from the fencing almost into the traffic seems dangerous. Who cuts those back and when? Still a fun ride and historical treasure.
I agree totally. Would be nice if we at least had some narration as to what roads we're on - for those of us that are unfamiliar with the LA scene. While I'm on my rant a little editing would come in handy. Why make your viewers sit through red light after red light? There. Now I feel a little better. Thank you very much.
Disappointed. That was all in town driving w/no commentary. Got a bit better at 16:50 or so when u turned the corner. Was hoping I'd see deep canyon where all our rock stars used to live. Nothing to see here, sry but this was a drag. Peace
Really? I sat here for how long at a... red light when no traffic was crossing from the other street of the intersection??? That's a little too much for me - I could do that in real life.
I see what you all mean by LCB being so treacherous! Didn't know the intersection of Laurel Canyon and Mulholland was that blind. Neighborhood associations ease up alittle, let L.A. do another upgrade to that road! Alot of those embankments are going to have to be dug out more, and cut down and move back all of that damn landscaping!.......😁

Thanks for the nice comments! And yes, night drives are wonderful in the Canyon...
Same thing I thought. On my 750 f model Honda

I drove up a while ago after my stepfather sold his home. I was shocked the place is now so overbuilt. Not the same hideaway neighborhood I remember.
@1:28 rude tesla driver 😡

Grew up under Fire Station #97 in the 1960's know that drive well ... thanks
Bloody murderous history that place
Really? What kind of murderous history?
@@BionicWoman1975 many of great musicians came from laurel cayon and many of them died in strange circunstances
I commuted from West Hollywood through Laurel Cyn. to Cal T Northridge for two years. Hasn’t changed much.
I love this ride... Even in heavy traffic lol
Houdini’s mansion is on the right, found out about it in 1969, with some friends! I remember the fire it had, too!
Ein paar Ortsangaben zwischendurch wären schön gewesen ☺
Tesla man needs an electric shock.
That guy in the white Tesla needs to learn how to drive
And to use his turn signals. Unless that's an option on Teslas ? (Like color pain?)
That Tesla was in the video very briefly yet that was the crux of the whole video. So what? Get over yourself.
needs a soundtrack.

The road surface looks horrible. The guy in the white tesla needs a poke to the nads with a cattle prod. Other than that, a lovely drive. :)

Sorry, this is not a tourist video. Just "Driving up & down" the canyon. Like all these other videos I do. Just driving...
Really? I sat here for how long at a... red light when no traffic was crossing from the other street of the intersection??? That's a little too much for me - I could do that in real life.
Was that heading into studio city ?
Maybe a bit of EDITING so we do not sit at stop lights, etc.
The stop lights are the best part.
Where's The Batcave?
Different canyon.
Didnt that used to be a two-lane road?
Watch out for them rock stars past and present. Rog.pacific sunset records.
Not much foot traffic.
This is not a walking place, there are no sidewalks. It's only for cars.

That was boring.
Your driving habits are terrible.
