Day/overnight trip to the highlands with a sedan?
Hello. Were visiting Iceland in early September to do the ring road in 10 days, but was thinking about doing at least 1 day/overnight trip to the highlands and to see what is recommended? We are tenting the whole trip.
The plan is to keep costs down, so we were gonna rent a FWD sedan or at best an SUV Still 2WD, since from what I understand I wont need a 4x4 for doing the ring road. To get to the highlands I need to drive on a "f road" as they seem to be called, but I know there's a big difference in roads. Are there any trips that we can do in a FWD into the highlands (no river crossings)? I need to ask specifically because there's lots of people out there who think a 4x4 is needed for any sort of gravel road.
For context, we are from BC, Canada and here we are used to doing 5+ hour drives into the mountains on beat up logging roads. I have Honda Civic and a road like this (which I just drove this weekend) we still do in a FWD sedan. So with that said, are there some interesting places I can get to in the highlands without springing for a 4x4 rental?
