This past month I took a scenic detour onto a underrated crossing of the Gabilan Range via Lonoak Road. Lonoak Road is an approximately 14 mile road that connects County Route G15 in King City east to the ghost town of Lonoak at CA 25. Lonoak Road is mostly known for the car graveyard at the bottom of Lewis Creek but offers a some really scenic driving along the canyons carved out by San Lorenzo Creek.
