The drive is spectacular - it often winds back on itself as you are climbing the mountains which was fun for us to see. The hairpin curves were an adventure to drive! The trees take your breath away...

Lots of road work if you come in through the foot hills area, dirt road and 30 min wait. Fall is a great time to see the park. Cool and not too busy.

The road from the hwy 180 entrance up north all the way down to the Giant Forest area is very scenic and not too difficult to drive. The road from Giant Forest area to hwy 198 entrance down south...

We came in from the south on 198 and left on the northwest 180 route so feel like we really got to see the Generals Highway. The turns and twists and construction on the southern half were tedious,...

Make sure your brakes and engine braking are working before tackling this one. There's lots of climbing and downhills as you cross watersheds. Not many viewpoints, but the ones that exist are good. ...

There is a bit of dusty construction and sitting in the car waiting to get up the mountain on the one-lane part of the road but a stop at Hospital Rock and a quick hike down to the river make it all...

After paying $10 to go through the gate we discovered that the road was all torn up and barely passable in places.

It was under repair from what I understand in the summer. While we were there only parts were under construction but it did not hamper our drive at all. You would be a fool to try to drive up here in...
