Did that one a couple of times FYF we called it the scenic route, really worth doing, try just before dusk.
Flew out of SEE and MYF, give the tower a call and they will gladly help you with info they are very nice folks up there.
Lots of terrain and traffic Airscream but very friendly airspace you will love it, great scenery and good for experience, have you got an IFR rating cause on the other hand you got the guys at Socal doing TEC or if you like just give them a call and request for flight following, they might just be what you need on your trips in the area, great bunch.
Have a nice time, wish I could be there.
