Distances are straight-line, not driving — the road can be much longer where a river, a lake or a canyon sits in between. From OpenStreetMap — community-mapped, so plug types can lag reality. Verify on your charging network’s app before counting on a charger.

We watch the next 60 days closely — that's where cancellations show up. recreation.gov takes bookings out to about May 2027, so there may be 2+ night stays past our window.
