RE: What would you do? Utah....
US 89 is closed south of Page. You must detour on US 89A.
I would go up US 191 into Monument valley, then US 191, then UT 6 into Salt Lake area.
There is good service locations in Moab.Monument Valley is on US163, not US191.
Go up US89 to US160 to 163 to Monument Valley then continue on 163 to 191 to Moab to visit Arches and Canyonlands. From there take 191 to I70 to UT24 to Capital Reef. From there take UT12 to Bryce.

RE: Off roading in National Parks
Keep in mind that there is little opportunity for offroading in the national parks themselves. However there is a great deal of offroading trails in the surrounding BLM lands. The visitor's center in Moab is the best place to get the info you seek. They are very helpful and have available maps and current advice on current trail conditions.

RE: Best route from Glendale UT west to I-15
Our preferred routes from US-89 to I-15 are UT-20 or
AZ-389/UT-59/ west from Fredona to Hurricane then UT-9 west to I-15.
We avoid hauling our 5er over 9 or 14.

RE: If you could only pick one NP as your favorite
Canyonlands - Needles District with Capital Reef a close second.
There's a lot to be said about the Canadian National Parks in BC and Alberta.

RE: fuel stops
Fill up at Ash Springs. That should get you Ely which has several fuel stations. The Maverick Truck Stop just south of town has the best prices.

RE: Alt 89 in northern Arizona
Road is good, but somewhat curvy going up to and down from Jacob Lake. Otherwise, flat and straight most of the way.
Currently clear with forcast of clear through the weekend. See:
http://www.wunderground.com/weather-forecast/US/AZ/Jacob_Lake.html
Take highway 59/389 from Hurricane to Fredona to pick up 89a.

RE: Alps Mountaineering Meramac 6 ZF FG tent
Have been using this tent for three summer seasons and am looking forward to using again this summer. We find it easy to put up and take down. With two people, about 2-3 minutes; one person five minutes.

RE: Twin Falls to Vegas in March
93/318/93 is the way to go. Less stressful, easy driving. We always take this route. We just loath the I-15 Ogden/SLC/Provo traffic and avoid it whenever we can.

Can't tell you about Chimney Rock, but Devils Tower is worth half a day to walk around its base and have a picnic. Interesting place.

RE: Really? Boondocking? Or just wishful thinking? Newbie
I cannot speak about Baja. However, we do not hesitate to boondock on public lands (BLM, National Forest, some state lands)in the west including Canada. We always check in with the closest land agency to determine if there are any restrictions currently in effect. Local law enforcement personnel have also been helpful in directing us to beautiful and safe places.

RE: Utah Trip
People from the east and midwest often do not appreciate the distances between destinations in the west.
Stay in:
Cortez to visit Mesa Verde
Moab to visit Arches, Canyonlands Island in the sky, Canyonlands Needles District, Colorado River east on 128 and west on 279 (need at least 5 days)
Kanab is ok for GC and Zion
Move to Panguitch or Cannonville to visit Bryce
You may want to consider Blanding or Bluff for day trips to Monument Valley and Natural Bridges, and Torrey to visit Capital Reef.
