This is better planned as connected stages than one overloaded day. Plateau exposure, gorge traffic, temperature swings and photo stops all reduce average speed.
Plan the trip
Start early, refuel before long gaps, slow for blind gorge bends and keep distance from tour vehicles. Do not stop in narrow road sections for photographs.
What matters on the road
Check weather for each elevation, confirm overnight parking and rental geography, and keep water plus a warm layer. Record a conservative fuel reserve.
Practical checklist
- Split into realistic stages.
- Mark fuel and water.
- Check every elevation.
- Park off narrow gorge roads.
- Confirm secure overnight parking.
