Word of caution all the roads except for more major routes are narrow and unforgiving which adds to the alure but can be overwhelming for unexperienced riders.
Just one word of warning the Interstates is something to behold as all the industry and access to the ports run through the valley. I have driven in Houston, Los Angeles and on other major Interstates and never seen traffic like this. Your talking hundreds of trucks and high-speed limits better be prepared when you have to venture out on one. The good part you can drive less than an hour and be in pristine riding country.
