In April we'll be visiting the Grand Canyon then hope to head north on Hwy 89 into southern UT. Trying to research the section of Hwy 64 that goes east from Grand Canyon Village to Hwy 89, wanting to make sure it's suitable for big rigs. Has anyone driven this, if so, any concerns, issues?
Thanks

Been there, done that. Very good road and suitable for big rigs. Lots of overlooks and, in places, you can see the canyon from high up in the pick-up truck, so just be sure to keep your eyes on the road. :)

Thanks Howard, we're looking forward to it. We're also assuming while we stay in the park we'll visit that area of the park so hopefully it's not the first time we've seen that scenery!!

Last year we did that route in our motorhome and it was a great road. If you are interested we found a great boondocking spot about a half mile before the South entrance to the park. It was complete with visiting elk. I'll send the info if interested.
Also great boondocking on Lake Powell to the North and at Pink Coral Sands before the road to Zion National Park.
It took us 7 weeks and we needed more time to fully enjoy this whole area.

It is a terrific route to take, you will find many others travelling it at the same time in the RV. There is also plenty of great views so have your camera ready!
