Before you drive
Make it a satisfying day
Choose a realistic section, then allow time for viewpoints, a town stop and breaks. Scenic mileage rarely tells the whole story of how long an outing will take.
Match the road to your vehicle
Check the exact roads for your car, RV or motorcoach. Tunnel dimensions, turning space, grades and road surfaces can matter as much as distance.
Allow time for the approach, interpretation and breaks. Check the specific facilities and walking surfaces your guests need. Photographs can show earlier conditions; confirm current access, reservations, fees and operating arrangements with the official operator or managing agency.
