I'd suggest from where you are, right up the 5 to the 138 and east. Some of the reports on the area report fields to the northwest, and last year that was what we saw as well although the reserve are was probably pretty much as good as the other spots. Changes over time, of course.. Sometimes the Gorman area, around the intersection of the 5 and 138 is stunning. 605 to 210 then west to the 5 will avoid some of the traffic through downtown, will still be sluggish in areas depending on time of day.
Disadvantages of going up the 5 is the competition with rush hour traffic, otoh, if you leave real early, early enough to get ahead of the worst of it, you might beat some of the winds. Weekend? Less traffic overall, more people at the reserve. Weekday, worse traffic in the L.A. Basin.
There is some scenery of the 138/14 but not necessarily too much, last time we went that way, there were some smaller flower patches. I think if your goal is to get to the reserve, going by way of Carrizo Plain or Big Bear is going to suck up all your time.
