Okay, Busskipper, I'm with ya : ) considering where Ernest will be before and going to after. The east entrance is definitely less crowded and the drive is a good one too. In fact, that is exactly the way we suggest to people in another forum to make a day trip from Sedona to GC.

Ernest...Correct, don't drive the MH up and down Oak Creek Canyon (Hwy 89A). If taking Busskipper's route, you don't have to drive through the town of Flagstaff unless you want to. You can take I-17 north to I-40 east and exit Country Club Dr. I think the sign also says to Hwy 89 and Page. Follow the signs.

Thanks Janss.
I will go around Flagstaff as recommended.
While I have you what is your favorite restaurant in the Sedona area +_ 50 miles?
