FLYING IN?
Some maps appear to have easier routes to the coast, but most of the east/west roads
are extremely curvy and slow, with steep grades and some parts are unpaved. Many of these
scenic alternatives are gorgeous, but need to be driven with care. Enjoy the trip, and no
matter which route you choose, you will love the scenery.
