You want to go through Ramona.
From the east side of San Diego you want to go through Santee and Lakeside on Route 67 up to Ramona.
Or if you're more on the north side of San Diego get up to 67 by going through Poway.
In Ramona go straight through town and out the other side which will put you on route 78 up to Santa Ysabel.
At Santa Ysabel turn left onto Route 79 and go up towards Warner Springs.
Just before Warner Springs turn right on County Road S2 which is also called San Felipe Road.
Go down there a few miles and make a left on county road S22 which is also called Montezuma Valley Road.
Up the road a ways on S22 you will come to a long gently winding down grade into Borrego Valley with some real nice views and a couple of pull off places to check out the Valley.
Although the grade is long I don't think it's more than about 6 or 7 percent so just gear down and you should have no problems at all.
Good traveling.
(Edit: 11 miles of 8% grade with some 9%)
