What kind of drive is this?
Expect a turn-heavy, local experience rather than a fast-paced highway cruise. Your route relies entirely on surface roads, specifically Canal Road, East Granby Road, and Turkey Hills Road, which means you will be managing frequent turns throughout the 39.9-mile distance. Because there is zero highway share, you should prepare for a slower, more engaged style of driving compared to interstate travel. The path demands your full attention as you transition between these smaller roads, offering a consistent, technical feel behind the wheel from start to finish.
59% highway, the rest on surface roads — varied driving throughout.
20 navigation steps total — most of the decisions cluster near the start and finish.
Longest single stretch: 7.3 mi on I 384.
