Open for tips on any favorite places along the way. Taking the Tundra, pair of hikers and Mt Bike.

ROUTE is to cross the river at Marble Canyon, up through Jacob lake for 2 nights in Kanab - slot canyon hike maybe check out Pink Coral dunes.

After Kanab head to Tropic UT and explore off the beaten paths outside Bryce, Red Canyon, where the tourist don’t go. Then to Boulder UT and take the 71 mile trail down to Bullfrog on Powell. Next day take the ferry across Powell to Halls and head south through the grand gulch area.

From Hall's you will probably go down the Moki Dugway into Mexican Hat, and Monument Valley, Super beautiful area out there.

As you leave Jacob Lake and Head North to Kanab i would make a side trip into Zion and back out, even if you just drive through the tunnels and down into the park, turn around and go back out the way you came.

Boulder UT area is awesome try and make that whole drive across highway 12 across Hell's Backbone. I suggest you hike Calf Creek Falls...Also Ferry is closed.

Actually, the drive around the North end of the lake is worth it. There is gas at Hite and all sorts of old mining roads to explore. I think the campground is still open at Hite also.

I did that drive this year past Hite and it is incredible. It is 1 hour.

Cascade Falls is a beautiful short hike. Water drains from Navajo lake. We use to stay at their cabins and before that we would tent camp.

My advice ~ don’t venture much past the 80 mph speed limit . . . they don’t allow 10 over like California.


Safe travels ✝️
