My favorite GC location is the North Rim and I boondock in the Kaibab Natl Forest on the Kaibab Plateau south of Jacobs Lake. Lots of room and myriads of roads and trails to spectacular isolated overlooks.
I am one of those who prefer the North Rim. We found plenty of viewpoints easily accessible with short walks (not hikes.)
One thing I would suggest you think about: our overnight stops are, for us, important parts of the trip. If you can find Forest Service campgrounds, state parks, or even commercial parks where you can "boondock" it would be worth it. WalMart or Flying J would be our last choice. Those are memories that would not add to quality of our trip.
Of course, we all have different preferences and priorities, but over the last twenty years of our fifth-wheel traveling (we are NOT full-timers) over 160,000 miles, the stops along the way are an important part of the pleasure. Just one old fellow's point of view.
