Vehicles over 13 feet 1 inch tall, Semi-trucks, vehicles carrying hazardous materials, vehicles weighing more than 50,000 pounds, single vehicles over 40 feet long, combined vehicles over 50 feet long. All Bicycles. Pedestrians."
If you can meet these limits, its an awesome drive through (although a little nerve racking).
We haven't been to the north rim yet, so I can't comment on it (bad planning so far, but an excuse for another trip out).
If you want to stay in one place, we've been to both Bryce and Zion and would favor Zion. DW and I both consider Zion to be one of the most beautiful places anywhere.... There are a number of good hikes; but DON'T MISS walking the Virgin river up into the canyon. It is awesome. (half day)
In Bryce, take the hike down into the canyon. If you like to hike, its certainly worth the effort (half day).
If you decide to stay in one place and visit the other I would certainly recommend Zion (we generally like staying in one place and doing it justice). You can do Bryce in a long day. Its almost 2 hours between, so you'd have to leave early and return late to do it any justice.
