I'm looking to do a couple of weeks out that way in the fall. I've been looking for some info and don't know if anyone in St. George would be able to help or not. Most of my time would be in Arizona.
There are a half dozen or so things in the area that folks want to do. some want to do the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. That is not open now. I had the same problem when we went there in the past. So we moved this to the fall when the North Rim is open. The idea was to go in or come out through the Kaibab NF back roads.
We could start in Page, AZ. Some wanted to go look around SW of Page at Lee's Ferry. That was the start for the Honeymoon trail that went to St. George.

I have a side trip I'd really like to do. West of Page, AZ 26 miles on highway 89 is Cottonwood Canyon Rd. North on that road a short distance is a loop to the east that connects back to Cottonwond Canyon Rd. I want to do that loop again and would like to see if I could get someone to take a picture of my truck as it drops back down to connect to the main road.
If anyone has info on the Honeymoon or Temple trails please let me know. The group I travel with will camp out in the desert most every night. We live out of our trucks and use towns to resupply and get a shower every now and then.
