Kanan-Dume Rd: 0 on our 5 scale -
Too heavily patrolled. Too many accidents; too many sport bikes. Mostly highway speeds, lots of commuter traffic, too many teenaged drivers on that road. We leave Kanan-Dume to the surfers and the surfer girls, who use this road to go back and forth from the beach to where they live with their folks. Never take your caravan across Kanan or Las Virgenes.
Corral Canyon Rd: 0 on our 5 scale -
It dead ends. Driving it is pointless (unless you have 4WD).
Latigo Canyon Rd: Perfect 5 on our 5 scale!
Everybody loves Latigo Canyon Road. And, so do we. Latigo Canyon Rd is the quintessential canyon road for sports car drivers in the Santa Monica Mountains. 166 turns, exactly. Drives best as a hill climb, going inland from the beach. Tends to be rough in places. Despite it's degree of technicality, unlike Yerba Buena, it's so easy to drive. Best of all, it just seems to last forever. If that's not enough, it's right in the middle of the Santa Monica Mountains, in close proximity to so many other 5 star roads.
The only problem with Latigo is the right hand turn on to Kanan Rd. It's not too difficult to take a caravan right onto Kanan, then left on to Mulholland, though. Plan carefully... traffic at Kanan & Latigo moves at 75 mph, plus, so make sure all your people know to use liberal throttle accelerating onto Kanan from Latigo.
Advisory: Ponch & John have been known to host monthly "fund raisers" at Latigo Canyon Road's northern terminal end, for which to cite anyone remotely descriptive of our profile. Of recently, we've been told they've been known to host these fund raisers...during the wee hour? Drivers (...and riders), beware.
