I lived in Ogden, Utah during the mid-late 50s and early 60s. That area is fantastic. IMHO, Ogden Canyon, South Fork, Hardware ranch (Elk capitol of the world), Snow Basin - are all great side trips. Have a wonderful week, Bill

Beautiful car !
I drove the vette on the blue ridge parkway followed up with driving the tail of the dragon a few years back, lots of fun but nothing like Utah.

Location, location, location.. I live in southern Ontario about a hundred miles SE of Detroit. There's a few nice local areas to cruise on a sunny day but I'm several hours from any Vette worthy roads and terrain. My brother just returned from a driving vacation to the east coast through Quebec and back home through the US. He says it was great if you like twisting roads and elevation changes. Creature comforts and space for luggage come into play on a long trip like that though and the distance between gas stations is a serious factor too. I'm only good for about 130 miles between fill ups.
