Thanks for the great advice. Our plan is to visit Zion, Bryce, Arches, and Canyonlands. We did reserve a timed entry pass for Arches, so weāre good to go there. Weāre using the NPS app and an app called āNational Parksā for detailed info about the parks. Packed with maps, trails, etc.
My wife and I have lived in PA and VA our entire lives and only stopped out west a few times for businessā¦never really got a chance to see any of the fantastic scenery. Retired a few years ago, bought an Ollie in ā22 and camped around the east coast last year to get used to towing and camping. Weāre so used to seeing trees, trees, trees, itās amazing to finally see wide open spaces (we just made it to NM). Canāt wait to see all the canyons and different rock formations.
So, for this east coast guy, should I expect the mountain grades on US-89, US-191 and I-70 to be a bit challenging, or not too much worse than I-64 and I-81 (if youāve traveled in VA)?
