The Scenic Drive is an 8-mile (13 km) paved road. Allot 2 hours roundtrip to drive the Scenic Drive and the two dirt spur roads that lead into deep canyons, Grand Wash and Capitol Gorge. These dirt spur roads are usually suitable for passenger vehicles and small RVs up to 23 feet in length. Roads may close due to snow, ice, and flash flooding. An entrance fee is charged for the Scenic Drive. Pay at the self-pay station at Stop 1 or purchase a pass for all federal lands at the visitor center.
