Made my room reservation today. It all worked as normal and I got a confirmation number as expected.

Sharon has suggested a new drive. It's about 130 miles RT. Route is Beaver via I-15 Parowan out 143 thru Brian Head to Panguitch up 89 to 20 back to I-15 up to Beaver.

IPB Image

Elevation change is from 6800' up to 10,900'. Via "Google Earth Street View" it looks pretty good unless there is snow/ice. I'm sure we can find an appropriately expensive lunch stop in Brian Head for Wills and vegan fair for Elleyot.

Comments?

I drove Rt 143 from Parowan to Panguitch in mid September a few years ago and there had been a dusting of snow overnight. I think that could happen any of the roads that cross the mountains between 15 and 89. A nice stop on the way would be Cedar Breaks National Monument (grayed area below #3 on the map) Scenery similar to Bryce, entry is $4 person.

I've driven the stretch from Brian Head to Panguich many times. Great scenery and lots of open curves that would be great for a 914 run. The scenery at Brian Head & Cedar Breaks is great. I've never driven from Parowan to Brian Head, but it looks like it would be a great drive. The drive from Brian Head to Cedar City is almost vertical because it covers so much altitude change in short a short distance, but the distance from Parowan to Brian Head should spread out the elevation change enough to make it a great run with lots of twisties thrown in.

lol-2.gif Classic lol-2.gif . Red rocks is a whole different ballgame. I am really looking forward to the trip. Not sure if I am driving the LE out myself. Or bringing the family & towing it. My family would just hang out in SLC with inlaws. Then I would drive out from there. Kinda liking that idea as I get some a/c that way evilgrin.gif .

My other problem is I am in Scottsdale the next week. I either make a really round trip out of it. Drive straight from Beaver down. Then out to CA & north home. Which makes for one hell of a long drive. Or I drive back home after Red Rocks & fly out. I guess I could drive back to SLC. Then fly down from there. Then fly back to SLC & drive home idea.gif Decisions headbang.gif

And that is a problem how? So what are we doing while you are here? You are welcome to hop in with me for a ride back to Scottsdale if that in any way makes something easier.

I never saw a T-shirt order notice - where is it hiding? (more likely, I'm just blind)
