Turn-off for The Scenic Drive

The story

Coming up on your right, the turn-off for The Scenic Drive. The heart of the tour, about eight miles of pavement out and the same back. Allow ninety minutes. Twenty dollars a vehicle, free with a pass, and storms can close it. Want it? Turn right at the sign. If not, stay straight.
