These are suggested destinations, not a timed or field-tested driving route. Check admission, appointments, holiday changes and the access your family needs. Maps identify destinations; they do not establish an entrance or a safe place to stop.

Old mines, bridge remains and other archival locations are not listed here as public visitor sites. Use designated public areas and obtain permission where needed.
