Liebre Summit is the highest point of the Old Ridge Route
Road.
Pyramid Lake is visible in the distance. Roadrunners, quail, hawks
and rabbits can be seen in this area.
The Ridge Route opened to Bakersfield in 1915. At the time it
was only graded and oiled. Paving began in 1917 after the roadway
had settled. When initial paving concluded in 1920 the highway was
a twenty foot wide slab of reinforced concrete ... just enough room
to pass a large oncoming truck.
The Sheriff enforced the 15 MPH speed limit (12 MPH for some
heavier trucks). Typical drive time from Los Angeles to Bakersfield
was twelve hours.
