Drive Character

You will navigate through suburban streets before eventually merging onto I-15 South, making the experience more technical than a standard highway cruise.

The personality of this drive shifts as you move away from the denser Millcreek area and settle into the longer, winding segments toward Beaver.

There are about 9 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
