State Route 74 (SR 74), part of which forms the Palms to Pines Scenic Byway or Pines to Palms Highway, and the Ortega Highway, is a state highway in the U.S. state of California. It runs from Interstate 5 in San Juan Capistrano in Orange County to the city limits of Palm Desert in Riverside County. Stretching about 93 miles (150 km), it passes through several parks and National Forests between the Pacific coast and the Coachella Valley. Though some maps and signs may still mark SR 74 as continuous through the city of Perris, control of segments within that city were relinquished to that local jurisdictions and are thus no longer officially part of the state highway system.
