Winding and gently rolling drive through stunning nature (as seen in the “Bordertown” opening credits). You can enjoy nice views especially from the bridge in the southern end. Moderate traffic, okay asphalt, okay bike path for about two kilometers (including across the bridge) in the southern end.
