Colorado 2018 and Utah trip with Blake and Connor
Stillwater, Oklahoma, United States
Leave Capitan Lodge early on Wednesday, July 18 and head to Utah
The trip from Pagosa to Moab will be 222 miles and little less than 4 hrs. If we pull into Arches around 11:00, we should be able to spend about 3 hrs here, leave around 2:00PM, drive to Canyonlands (about 45 minutes), get there about 3:00 PM then 2 1/2 to 3 hrs there before heading to Green River, about an hour on farther down the road. That would put us at the hotel around 7ish on the 18th.
If we leave here by 7:00 PM, we can be at the hotel by 8:00PM
Should be here around 6:30 in time for dinner and rest!
The trip from Green River, UT to Goblin Valley should take around an hour. If we leave the hotel around 7:30, we should be at GVSP around 8:30am. We would need to leave around 10:30 to head through Escalante
via S Highway 24 & N Highway 12
If we leave GVSP by 9:30 or 10:00am, we could be at Bryce by 2:30 PM (About a 4 1/2 hr trip). We could spend 2-3 hrs and drive to Zion, then head to Kanab and be there by 8:30 or so. Missing Zion would take 1 1/2 hours off the trip.
The trip from the turnoff to Zion and back adds about 40 minutes one way. We could scrap this in favor of more time at Bryce or GVSP.
If we decide on Zion, we'll be here around 8:00. If we decide against Zion, we could spend a little more time at GVSP and Bryce, and still be here around 7:00 or so.
It's about 1 3/4 hrs from Kanab to the North Rim. If we leave the hotel by 7:00 AM, we could be at the Grand Canyon by 9:00 AM, spend an hour or so, and be at Monument Valley by 3:30 PM or so.
The trip from here back to Pagosa is about 4 hrs of travel time. We would need to leave here no later than 4:00PM to be in Pagosa by 8:30PM or so.
We would be back in Pagosa around 9:00PM on 07/20/18. That gives us all day the 21st and part of the day the 22nd to spend with Sarah and Ray before heading home.
