While visiting the San Bernardino area this past year I drove the entirety of California State Route 18 up the Rim of the World Highway in the San Bernardino Mountains to California State Route 138 in the Mojave Desert CA 18 is one of the original 1934 Signed State Highways and perhaps has the oddest alignment which forms an almost 270 degree semi-circle.  The present route of CA 18 begins in San Bernardino and ends 114 miles to the northwest in the Mojave Desert in Los Angeles County at CA 138.  CA 18 between Sierra Way in San Bernardino close to the vicinity of CA 330 is known as the Rim of the World Highway.  The "Rim of the World" name refers to the fact that CA 18 runs along the ridge line of the San Bernardino Mountains which offers almost countless scenic vistas.  In my personal opinion CA 18 between CA 210 and CA 138 is the most unique, scenic and engaging at-grade expressway in the California State Highway system.
