    There is a section of the Mulholland Hwy near Agoura Hills, CA called The Snake. This section became popular due to the nearby stop called The Rock Store which is huge biker hangout on the weekends and is frequented by celebrities such as Jay Leno:
    The Rock Store

    The Snake is a 2.5 mile section of Mulholland Hwy between Kanan Rd (a little west of Point A) and The Rock Store (Point B). Point A is the location of a nice turn-out where people hang-out to see the action. Of course there are always many bikes at The Rock Store but parking for cars at the Rock Store can be difficult during the weekends. For seeing cool bikes and cars the weekend is best but for driving a weekday is the best.

    I like driving from Kanan Rd towards The Rock Store but it is fun both directions. Be sure to stay on your own side of the road. Watch out for people driving beyond their skill level.
    Here are some photos from The Snake:

    If you like winding mountain roads then you will enjoy Mulholland Hwy. The whole length of Mulholland Hwy is a nice drive through the Santa Monica mountains with beautiful homes and views of the ocean. During the summer the mountain range is pretty but in a desolate way (rocky and scrub oak).

    Here is a link to a separete post that shows the full length of the Mulholland Hwy.

    You can use that post to see where The Snake is compared to the whole highway.
