Amazing views the entire time. I would have stopped more often to record video and photos but we were racing sunlight. I would go 2-3 hours before sunset to get some spectacular views of the sun beaming through the clouds onto the mountain sides. Also, look out for deer. They aren’t afraid to stay within 10 yards of the vehicle.
