Driving the Switchbacks
For most things you will need to drive back out of the Gorge on the switchback curves to the top. Staying on the river is well worth the drive to the top. It doesn’t take long and my advice is just go slow and watch for other vehicles, if you feel you need to stop and let others pass, that’s perfectly fine:)
