Verdugo Mountains just a bit north of Los Angeles in So Cal. DON'T TAKE A ROAD BIKE THERE, IT IS VERY STUPID.

You have to pull it to the side and up as well. Could be better, could be worse. No complaints about it.

Yep, at the top of Coll de Rates you can go through the cafe car park, over 100m of gravel track and then you find another 3km @ >10% up to the aerials.

Cyclingtips got some good photos there in their road-tripping Calpe article.

Col de Rates is a must.
But Tudons is nicer.
