This is not a monotonous highway haul; instead, the 56-minute transit requires your full attention as you maneuver through the local landscape. The lack of highway miles means you will be moving at a pace dictated by local road geometry rather than open-road cruising.
This route has more turning and local-road decision points than a simple highway run.
There are about 15 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
