CA 79 — Descanso to Julian
United States · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry
CA 79 runs 22.5 miles between Descanso and Julian. We counted 762 corners along it, which works out at 33.9 a mile — corner after corner with no let-up. It runs past mountain peaks, a nature reserve, a river and open water. That is busier than two thirds of the roads we have measured in the United States, where the median is 25.1 a mile.
Ridden together with Ruta del Vino & Sierra de Juárez - MEX 3 and La Rumorosa Grade it makes about 116 more miles of the same kind of road.

How we measured it
Corner counts come from the road's own geometry in OpenStreetMap, not from ratings or votes. Every bend above a threshold of curvature is counted once, so two roads can be compared directly. Nothing here is crowdsourced and nobody paid to appear.
