Tips for scenic drive photography

• Drive the route in both directions — the views change completely.
• Plan stops for golden hour at the highest overlooks; use pull-outs, never stop on the roadway.
• Check seasonal closures for high-elevation roads before you go.
• A polarizer cuts windshield-like glare on wet roads and foliage.
