Grand Canyon to Denver to Salt Lake City
On a trip now with our family of 5 (DH and 3 DDs) in our 29' Class C. Heading to Zion and Bryce and we already have reservations for Grand Canyon mid-Sept. for a few nights. Now I'm reconsidering what we do after that.
Had a friend that mentioned this route:
Grand Canyon to Mesa Verde (2 nights) then Colorado Spring/Denver (to see family) then Moab (Arches/Canyonland, 2 nights) then Salt Lake City (more family). From there, we'll head up North to Coeur d'Alene before heading home in Seattle.
Are we going to be okay with the elevation gains on that route? We've never traveled from GC through Mesa Verde to Denver...would we be better off going through Colorado Springs then to Denver? Other suggestions on things to see along the way?
I haven't had as much time to plan this trip as others, so I really appreciate the input.
