I've had this trip on my calendar for awhile now and have a rough outline of the proposed route. I've never been in these areas so am looking for some route suggestions as well as places to stay. Accommodations don't have to be fancy/expensive... a nice clean bed for the night and/or a place with some character/personality rather than the chain motel/hotel. The rough outline looks something like this:
Route updated:

Tues, October 04, 2011 Mesquite (or LV)
Wed, October 05, 2011 Zion (Springdale)

Reversing the route as I really want to hit the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Hwy 12 is on the list of roads as well as Bryce/Zion parks.
Change in route is all Greg/SkooterG's fault.
