Thank you so much! This is all great advice. We are trying to see if we can swing the time for this year or maybe do a little shorter trip this year to do a month next year. We are not opposed to driving but half the fun is seeing everything along the way and enjoying the experience. If we didn't live in such a southern point, that would make some things easier for sure. Trying to keep most driving closer to 200-250 miles per day and then spending a few nights in the Canyon area, we are at 24 nights already for the round trip. Plus anything we miss on the way there, we can hit on the way back -or take a completely different route.
Bumping up to 350/400 will take days off your travel time. Days that you can use in the Grand Canyon area, or some place on the way. I would much rather do 6 longer days with a day off in the middle than 8 or 9 days with no break. And time setting up and tearing down is just waste.
