Our rigs in storage in St. George, UT and we'll be picking it up at the end of next March (2016) then heading to Bryce Canyon. We've heard that although Rte 9 is the most direct route it's a "BEAR", can anyone comment???

Never seen any Bears (:?) We LOVE the Rt 9 tunnel out of Zion - so for me not a problem, Rt 9 a number of times, always enjoyed the trip. That said your alternate is a good ride and was more than just interesting as a way across those mountains.
Back to the drive Rt 9 is the obvious choice and you are rewarded with the opportunity to at least drive into - even if for only a short visit - Zion is always a favorite for the visit and even Dinner in the Lodge.
After the Visit to Bryce, Rt 12 - Kodachrome - Escalante - Goblins and Capital Reef will await you. If I recall, you need to be careful going over the Mountain after Boulder on Rt 12 as in the winter it is often snow covered and icy.
