About State 330

Somewhat unique for a mountain road, it has a grade-separated interchange at each end. Hwy 330 is an alternate route to the Big Bear area and is quite busy as a result. Most of it is a steep, winding route heading up the mountain. There are some passing lanes available on the climb in the lower section.
