A small place can offer a richer stop than a famous attraction, but services may be limited.
Check opening days
Restaurants, museums and tours may operate only on selected days or seasons.
Avoid overpacking the route
Scenic roads and short local stops consume more time than a highway schedule suggests.
Support local businesses
Book directly where practical and respect private property and community events.
Prepare for limited services
Fuel, charging, medical care and late-night food may be less available.
