Another Grand Circle Planning forum!

Very well done! And many good comments. We will be our 16th year part time RVing in the 11 western states and 2 western provinces and, due to proximity to us, we spent a lot of time in Utah.

I do feel, as mentioned, that this is a lot of territory in the time allotted. It will be a great tour but not time to truly absorb all that is there.

My only other comment would be - as I have stated before on this Forum - is that only visiting the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and skipping the South Rim truly does not give one the full experience. From the NR you see about 10% of the Grand Canyon. To fully SEE the Grand Canyon you have to go to the South Rim and spend a few days so you can be there are sunrise and sunset for the colors and shadows. We have been to the NR twice (went back to see if we could find more to see) and the SR 5 times.

Am sure you have checked out all the roads and places to stay and are comfortable with that.

For Grand Canyon SR images see www.LaurensPix.com "Grand Canyon" and www.LaurenBarbara.com "Wanderings" then "Arizona".

Enjoy.

Thanks Lauren, I will check out your pics later. Like you, I am also a 'self taught' amateur photographer (OK, maybe I'm a professional because I have sold a couple of pics through our local Art Club :@) It seems to satisfy my type A personality :B

Two summers ago we stayed 3 nights in the Trailer Village at South Rim and we spent all our time exploring, riding shuttles, dinner at El Tover, and taking MANY pics of both sunrise and sunset. The day we drove out to Watchman it was raining, going out some of the turnouts were totally fogged in...one would not have known there was a canyon there! But it cleared enough as the day went on that I still got some great shots! (below is an example) We are going to North Rim this time mainly because we haven't been there before :)

Thanks again for the input!
