Hudson Ranch Road is an approximately 21.3-mile rural highway located mostly in the Transverse Ranges of Kern County. This highway begins at Cerro Noroeste Road at Apache Saddle near Pine Mountain Club and extends west to California State Routes 166 and 33 near Soda Lake Road. Despite small portions of Hudson Ranch Road dipping into Ventura County this corridor is fully maintained as Kern County Road 364.

The original purpose of this highway was to facilitate access to the ski resort the top of the peak of Cerro Noroeste (elevation 8,283 feet above sea level).

Hudson Ranch Road carries a gentle winding grade which overlooks much of southern San Joaquin Valley and the surrounding terrain. Part 1; the history of Hudson Ranch Road Hudson Ranch Road as a ...
