I'll be going south on 95 then east on the "extraterestial highway" (I understand everybody just pulls off the road and camps, rv's included....to look for UFO"s!). From there into Cedar City in Utah then Kanab THEN the last leg will be 80 miles into the park and the North Rim Lodge). Our families will meet us there in the SUV's for a few days more then home! The total elevation gain for 8 days is 21,000 ft.....not bad. Some nights we will be nowhere around any civilization, that should be interesting.
