What kind of drive is this?
Expect a turn-heavy local drive that demands your full attention behind the wheel. Because this route features a 0% highway share, you will spend the entire 37-minute duration navigating surface roads rather than cruising at high speeds.

This is not a monotonous interstate grind; instead, it is a technical, hands-on experience that requires you to stay alert through every intersection and curve.
61% highway — fuel and pacing are the main things to plan.
23 navigation steps total — most of the decisions cluster near the start and finish.
