Use regional tourism sources
Local visitor information is often better than generic 'hidden gem' lists.
Respect operating hours
Small attractions can have limited or seasonal schedules.
Spend time, not just photos
A meal, local shop or museum visit adds more value than a five-minute detour solely for a social post.
Stay flexible
A closed shop is not a failed road trip.
