Drive Character
Prepare for a turn-heavy local drive that keeps you engaged from start to finish. Since the highway share is 0%, you won't be dealing with high-speed interstate traffic or long, monotonous stretches of pavement. Instead, the route is characterized by constant turns, requiring your full attention as you navigate through the regional landscape. Because there is no single longest stretch, the road maintains a consistent, technical feel throughout the entire 49-mile duration. You should anticipate a drive that values precision and local navigation over rapid transit, making it a distinct departure from typical highway travel.
Most of the miles stay on highways, which makes pacing and fuel planning easier than turn-by-turn city driving.
There are about 24 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
I 89 is the longest continuous segment at about 13 miles.
