Hi, Bob. We did a similar trip last year, did a circle-Vegas-Zion, Bryce, GC North Rim-Lake Powell-GC South Rim-Sedona-Laughlin!<BR>But my concern with your trip is the distance from GC South Rim to Bryce & back to PHX. You are flying back home out of PHX? That's alot of driving for 5 nights!<BR>I personally found GC South to be anticlimactic after GC North. But without seeing the North first you will enjoy the South Rim just fine.<BR>I guess I can't comment decently until I know wether you have to be back in Phoenix on day 6! After that I'll have alot to suggest! <BR>

One more question answered pls: have you already been to Zion Ntn'l. Park?<BR>Becky

Doable but you are going to spend anywhere from 9 to 10 hous driving back to PHX from Bryce - something like 500 miles..<BR>You will be driving about 1000 miles from PHX. From Las Vegas it is a little less tnan 1000 miles but the longest single drive either from Phx or LV would be 300 miles from SR to Bryce

I just looked up the driving time from GC to Bryce--could it be 9 hours to do 290 miles?any thoughtd/

Drive time from the South Rim to Bryce is going to be in the 6/7 hour range. The roads are quite good and traffic should be minimal so you should be able to average between 45 and 50 mph.
