Ky. To Grand Canyon on route I-40
Heading out west in Sept. by route I-40. Plan on grand canyon, zion,bryce, canyonland, arches. Not going up to Tetons or Yellowstone this time. What other attractions along the way, would you suggest?...

Turn south at Grants, NM and follow NM53 through El Malpais, past Ice Cave/Bandera volcano, and over to El Moro then either turn back north to Gallup or continue west to 191 before turning north to I-40.
El Malpais is geologic sight seeing, El Moro is an inscription rock carved by explorers and settlers headed west. Grants is an old Route 66 and mining town and Gallup is a reservation town. You might take the Acoma Sky city tour at exit 108 (dancing eagle casino) west of Albuquerque, if pueblo culture interests you.
You said you were not interested in places to eat but if you do not try sopapillas and green chili cheese burgers you are missing out.
