Hello, we are driving from Texas for a trip to the North Rim and then on to Zion and Bryce..

I'm thinking 4 days at the North Rim and 2 nights each at Zion and Bryce Canyon. ( Or should it Bryce and then Zion?) Or my husband wondered if we should just camp 4 nights at Zion and take a day trip into Bryce or camp 4 days and just take a day trip to Zion?

Also, we have a 32 foot 5th wheel. I keep reading about a tunnel and can't tell if we should avoid it or not. We could drive it after we drop off the trailer as another option. I'm just not sure of the route we should take.

We will be going the first couple of weeks of August. The North Rim and Bryce look like they would be a little cooler than Zion.

Thanks for any help.

Some RVers are nervous when it comes to roads like the Zion tunnel switch backs,in 2010 Hwy9 through Zion was upgraded including the switchbacks, making them wider in the turns. In the video below you'll see a large 5th wheel coming down the switchbacks during the construction.

If boon docking is good with you, take FR22 into the Kaiba Forest, this will place you about 5 miles from the North Rim entrance. There is a fuel station inside the N. Rim park as well as a small market.
Off FR22
