Best general season
October to March for more comfortable daytime temperatures.
Planning a visit
Never stop for wildlife on a restricted highway. Check gate and road schedules before departing.
This route suits wildlife groups and families. For fewer days, keep one base and choose the outings that matter most to your group.
