Grand Canyon to Denver to Salt Lake City
On a trip now with our family of 5 (DH and 3 DDs) in our 29' Class C. Heading to Zion and Bryce and we already have reservations for Grand Canyon mid-Sept. for a few nights. Now I'm reconsidering what...

Thanks everyone for the great ideas! Especially on places to overnight.
I should have mentioned that we have only 2 nights to get from Grand Canyon to Denver. So I was planning on overnighting in the Cortez area, then spending the following day/night in Mesa Verde, then heading to Denver.
DDs are 9, 11 and 13 and LOVE educational displays so we'll check out Anasazi.
Thanks for the reminder on the Aspens. We happened upon them a few years ago on another road trip (no motorhome) and they were BEAUTIFUL.
Our main concern is just getting through the grade of the mountain passes since we're a V8, 29' Class C. Slow and steady, I guess.
I think we're leaning towards taking 160 E out of Mesa Verde, then up 25 N to Denver. I'm guessing that we'll catch the colors of the Aspens when we visit Rocky Mtn. NP and then when we head west on I-70.
We want to go to Arches too on our way to SLC. We'll spend one day driving from Denver to Arches area, overnight and then a full day/night for Arches. Any suggestions on where to stay? I was thinking we could dry camp, but if it's hot, then I know electric hookups would be ideal.
Thanks again for your help.
