Mar 15, 2006 · The drive from the Grand Canyon to Bryce around the east side of the canyon is a little under 300 miles by numbered highways, so you should be able to do it comfortably in 6-7 hours. The drive back to Palm Springs, although longer than your starting drive to the Grand Canyon, will take less time since it is a straight shot down I-15 into the LA ...

May 16, 2012 · It would seem you only arrive to the Grand canyon the day you leave towards Mesa Verde. [?] If thats the case you wouldn't [or at least I wouldn't] want to have to leave the canyon too early and take on a long drive. Outside of the east entrance is the Cameron Trading post which are the closest lodgings outside of the park.

Jan 12, 2017 · Hi! Myself and my husband are planning a road trip from NC to the Grand Canyon in June 2017. It is our 25th annivesary trip. Needing advice, tips, best places along the way to visit, eat. Planning a 10 day to 14 day trip. Thanks!!

Since Kanab is only a few miles from three national parks (Bryce Canyon, Zion, Grand Canyon) and a whole bunch of state parks and national monuments (Lake Powell, Kodachrome Basin, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Pipe Springs, Cedar Breaks, and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument) we knew we were just starting a truly memorable fall roadtrip.

Mar 20, 2009 · The most efficient route from Seattle to the Grand Canyon also happens to be quite scenic, but will take at least 2½ days to drive, so plan on 3 if you want to stop at a few places en route. The drive is I-90/I-82/I-84 southeast to Salt Lake City, then I-15 south to just south of Beaver, UT.

Jan 21, 2014 · The entire drive from Mesa Verde to the Grand Canyon will be through the Navajo Nation. Tourist facilities will be few and far between. Your best bet from both a timing and availability standpoint is probably Kayenta at the junction of US-160 and US-163.

Aug 28, 2014 · Something similar holds true at the Grand Canyon. While it is true that some people hike down into the Canyon and back in a single day, that is exhausting to say the least. Better is to plan on an overnight at the bottom. Reservations are required to stay at the Phantom ranch. There is also a nearby campground that requires a backcountry permit.

Jun 22, 2017 · As you probably know, it is about 3550 miles round trip by the shortest possible distance between the south rim of the Grand Canyon and Atlanta. Driving at close to the speed limit, but allowing sufficient time to re-fuel your car and your bodies, rest, etc. you will need to be on the road a minimim of 62 hours.

Nov 15, 2011 · Canyon de Chelly National Monument campground is free while the lodging is over $100 a night. Chaco Canyon doesn't have anywhere close for lodging but it has a campground. There's nothing better than camping in Mesa Verde under the stars! Between Canyon de Chelly and the Grand Canyon you might want to drive Hwy 264 though Keems …

Apr 2, 2007 · Grand canyon to Yosemite might also be tough to do in one day, two might be best, but again, it will be all driving. For a return route, I would go back down Arizona 64 to Interstate 40, and take Interstate 40 West to Barstow, CA where it becomes California 58 on to Bakersfield.
