Scenic Driving Routes

After spending the morning with 100+ other MINIs, you have your choice of beautiful driving routes leaving Granite State Scenic Railway and ending at the Auto Road, with time along the way for a picnic lunch.

Please note there is a DRIVERS MEETING at 11:30 which is mandatory

• In addition to the traditional colored ribbons, each drive will be assigned a colored paper, treat it like a ticket
• You will sign up for your scenic drive at the lot Saturday morning by picking up a ribbon and colored paper – only 25 “tickets” will be issued for each drive
• Display this colored paper on your dashboard, this is how we will know we have a safe number of cars in each drive when staging
