I have to say that the driving experience is incredible. I’m an auto racing enthusiast and my wife would probably attest that I drive in quite a “spirited” manner. For people like me, this place is a dream come true. On top of the great driving experience, the view is outstanding. I would often crest a hill and my wife and I would say, “Wow…”, in unison. Then I’d quickly spot a place to pull over and we’d get out and snap some photos.

I’m pretty happy with some of the photos that I got but I have to say that they don’t give the place any justice. The thing I noticed right away was that the scenic pull-offs were always just far enough down the hill from a fantastic view that the most I could achieve was a decent shot. You could attribute this to my lack of skill or nice equipment, but I found myself wishing I had my camera mouted to the car so I could snap photos from the road. Maybe that’s something to persue… :)

It was a fun trip but a word to the wise: If you or a passenger is prone to motion sickness, make sure they take some Dramamine ;)
