Not sure of your time line but if you can go through Page over to Kanab then up US 89 the bottom half of 89 is quite pretty and nice to ride. There are some great routes through the south end of UT but again it depends on time?

oh yes!! I am going across 89 coming up from Phoenix and spending the night at Jacob Lake Campgrounds then continuing on 89 to highway 12? then over to Bowery for the night then up to SLC.
Last year I did two similar trips but went across Mexican Hat Utah then across Lake Powel on Ferry and through Southern Utah. It is so so so beautiful! I can't wait! I am going to do some fishing at Bowery on Sunday as well just wish I could keep and cook up some of those trout they are so tasty. If you like fish I could drop them off at your place for you to enjoy since I won't be able to cook them.
