Itinerary

STOP 1

Before you fully venture onto the winding mountain roads, grab a hot coffee to prep for the day. Our featured stop is a memorable way to start things off! Drive time to your second stop is 30 minutes.

STOP 2

Take an easy lakeside wander while soaking in snow-capped mountain views. This trail is just 2.3 km and flat, making it a great option in cooler conditions. Drive time to your third stop is 22 minutes.

STOP 3

Occasionally overlooked but well worth the stop, this charming mountain town delivers big. We’ve recommended a scenic trail, a local brewery, and a few tasty spots for warming up with lunch. Drive time to your fourth stop is 24 minutes.

One of the most iconic road trip destinations in the world, and you get to experience it firsthand.
