• From La Canada, Route 2 heads north, up and into the San Gabriel Mountains
• About 15 miles later the byway passes the entrance to Red Box Road, access to Mt. Wilson and the Mt. Wilson Observatory
• The corridor continues to the northeast, eventually passing some ski areas, and crossing into San Bernadino county, the official end of the byway
• Route 2 continues on through the town of Wrightwood, to its intersection with Route 138
• Driving south on Route 138 provides access to Interstate 15
• Driving north on Route 138 eventually brings the traveler to Palmdale
