Most scenic drive in the USA???

Follow @whatrvdoing for more incredible destinations.

📍 Zion-Mount Carmel Highway

🌄 Towering red cliffs, winding roads, and jaw-dropping vistas around every corner - this drive is straight-up magic.

🪨The 1 mile tunnel was completed in 1930 and was originally the longest of its type at the time!

🛣️ This is 25 miles long if you want to do the whole thing - absolutely worth it.

⛰️ Elevation goes up to 5600 feet - and you can get out along the way.

🚗 Oversized Vehicles: Vehicles 11’4” tall or taller, or 7’10” wide or wider (including mirrors and accessories), require a tunnel permit. Vehicles over 13’1” tall, semi-trucks, vehicles carrying hazardous materials, and those weighing over 50,000 pounds are not allowed.

💰You need to pay either $35 a car for the Zion National Park entrance, or get an annual parks pass!

Have you driven this highway? It’s absolutely altered my brain chemistry!
