Trip Advice - Vancouver to Moab

Planning a trip next week from Vancouver, BC to Canyonlands, UT and looking for advice on what route to take to really get away from it all without getting too off the beaten track and hitting rough terrain.

I've got a Dodge 3500 4x4 SRW Diesel and Northstar Hard side camper and can go most places. I'm pretty adventurous and have done a ton of traveling and and will have an InReach satellite tracker with me. Truck is reliable and I'll have about 3 days water. Should be putting on a solar panel and extra battery too but will need water access after 3 days.

Would like info on what route to take that's very scenic and off the beaten path, places to stop on route, cool lakes to hang out for a while and swim, and photographing opportunities and classic hikes.

Any info much appreciated.

Thanks a bunch,
Raz

Basically to Salt Lake - I say just look out the window and Ask the Locals when you stop for the night. I think you are trying to Get to Wilder spots than I would know but, Rt 39 outside Ogden UT is a beautiful drive with a reservoir and again the Locals will point out the locations that would suit your needs.

Then on the way to Moab is Scofield State Park with A reservoir off Rt 6 - on to Green River nice little area - Lots of spots along the Colorado River on Rt 128 - After you feel cooked from the Heat I'll suggest a quick run into Colorado (PHOTO OP's everywhere) say Lizardhead and Dunton - and some off road trails around Telluride and Ouray to Silverton.

Unless you have the whole Summer and Fall your trip would take me a month+ so are we on track?

BOL,
