This will be our first trip this far west and only our second of any distance. We will be heading west in Aug. to Sturgis for bike week and then to west Yellowstone for at least a week then down to the Tetons.
My question is, what would be the best route from there to Kanab Ut. MY trip router has me getting over to I15 via Rt. 191 and 89. I have been told on another forum that 89 all the way down to Kanab would be better. My greatest concern is that I have very little mountain driving experience at all. What I do have has all been on the motorcycle(Smokies and Black Hills.) No comparison, I know.
I would like to avoid any +7-8% grades and steeper, shear drop offs w/o guard rails, switch backs etc. Fortunatly, time is not an issue since we are retired and in no hurry. My only concern is the reservation I have in Kanab.
Should I stick to my I15 route or would a Rt. 89 be ok for some one with no mountain driving experience?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
