CA to Ruby's Inn Utah

We will be coming from So Cal.
Coral Pink is on the list!

Ruby's tells you to come in on the 20 from the South but it looks to be a little longer-

We had a few other stops on our way. We went from Zion down to Coral Pink Sand Dunes (Hwy 59/389/89) then took Hwy 89 up to Ruby’s Inn - I found it to be an easy drive up Hwy 89. We then headed up to ride the Paiute trail via Marysvale. The scenery and riding at Coral Pink was amazing, very glad we rode there. I really enjoyed all the trails from Ruby’s Inn as well, though there are more trails around Marysvale I found the scenery around Ruby’s Inn to be better. I would avoid the tunnel at Zion unless you know for sure you’ll fit, but it can back up too. If you’re going that way I’d pull off at Coral Pink for a ride.

Northern or Southern California?

I will assume you are coming via southern Calif, Just after ST. George, get off I-15 at Hurricane, go to Kanab, north on Hwy 89 to Panguitch, then east on Hwy 12 to Ruby's.

An alternate route is to stay on I-15 until Hwy 20 which is likely faster, but I think the first route is more pretty especially when you get on Hwy 89.

Either route will be fine with our rig.

Nearby Kodachrome Basin State Park is an interesting stop, particularly late in the day if you like photography.

A nice drive (without the trailer & as long as it isn't wet) is Cottonwood Canyon Road. A short drive to see Grosvenor Arch, or, with good conditions, drive 47 miles to US 89 near Big Water (a little west of Page, AZ). While a high clearance, 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended, I've driven it in my RAV4.

You should check with the BLM Visitor Center in Cannonville for road conditions - it is sometimes closed due to flooding or slides.

Another stop about 15 miles from Bryce is Red Rock Canyon. Both camping & hiking opportunities.
