Any way that you can get to glendora ridge road will be fine. From Santa Monica, it will likely take an hour before you are off the freeway if you leave when there's no weekday traffic (say, between 10am and 3pm, or before 7am). You would probably go 10E, to 605N, to 210E. From there, I like to get off at Azusa ave, and drive around reservoir the with it's its curious WWII era (I think) testing ramps, then East fork to Glendora mountain road by some weird river mining camp looking things. Once you reach mount baldy, you can return by a faster road back to the 210. Or you can double back and see the rest of glendora mountain rd, which is nice if you have time.

The other roads are nice too, angeles crest (hwy 2) and any route from malibu back over the mountains into the city, but those tend to be overly popular. This one was my favorite largely because fewer people seemed to use it. That, and I like that it's an actual ridge, with cliff/hill on both sides.
