You could spend all summer branching off of your scheduled route and still not see it all! When I go to that area I know I am going to run into someone that suggests a detour for a "must do" route. You will have fun. Keep in mind , later in July the better the chance for afternoon shower.
I assume you have already been through Monument Valley; and Goosenecks UT? If not I can suggest an alternate route from Tuba City.
It also takes east side of Canyon de Chelly Canyon.
It’s a bucket list ride.
We went thru Mexican Hat and Monument Valley last year, and stayed in Tuba City before hitting North Rim, but I like your route ! Will expand on what we have, thanks brother !
Wife and I are headed out there from Va in June. CO Springs, Durango, Canyon De Chelly, Moab and then back home. Looking forward to it. We've done SD/WY/MT a couple of times, first time going south.
in July i would stick to the mountains,went Moab last July and it was very hot,probably doesnt help i live 9000 ft up where its pretty much cool year round
