All of the above recommendations are worth considering. Monument Valley, UT is worth a detour as well. My feeling is that the "south" rim of the Grand Canyon is the preferred choice.. 3000K can be covered in the time period, the comfort of doing so simply depends on how much time is spent with each stop. In general, non specific terms, you'd certainly have to keep going in order to get it all in. You'll love highway 395 that time of year. Don't miss June Lake Loop!! Jack

And thanks for your sympathy. It's boxed up for either repair or a decent burial. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
