💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~24 hours of daylight in July — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- Reviewed summer road window. Check every road, attraction, trail and weather condition live; the planner supplies no transport, admission, guide or lodging.
- Light days: day 1, day 2, day 3, day 5, day 6 have one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill them — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
