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.
