Food Scene
Limited options for eating out once you're up the canyon. May want to stop at Mishawaka on the way up!
The cabin is about 1 mile up canyon from Glen Echo. Take your time and shop while waiting for a bite to eat. Another good place to meet locals and get to know more about the area.

Sightseeing
The road follows the river tightly. Sight-see, but feel free to pull over, rather than being distracted while driving or holding up faster traffic. The canyon is beautiful from bottom to top, so be sure to take a day to explore and stop at various camps, pull-offs, or picnic areas. Remember your fishing rod (& license and rules/regs).
