What kind of drive is this?
Expect a turn-heavy local drive that keeps you engaged behind the wheel rather than drifting through a monotonous interstate grind. While the entire 19-mile distance is classified as highway travel, the route transitions frequently between different road types as you make your way south. Your longest uninterrupted stretch occurs on the Mountain View Corridor, which spans 8.7 miles of the trip. The road personality shifts from the flow of the corridor to the more localized feel of Highway 111 and 12600 South. You should be prepared for a series of turns that require active attention, making this a much more dynamic experience than a simple highway cruise.
Only 19% highway — the rest is turn-by-turn surface driving.
10 navigation steps total — most of the decisions cluster near the start and finish.
Longest single stretch: 8.7 mi on Mountain View Corridor.
