if time wasn't an issue I'd take 60 to Wickenberg then 89N thru Prescott/Jerome/Cottonwood/Sedona to Flagstaff then W on I40 to Seligman Rt66W to Kingman then US93N to Vegas. You could even stay a nite at the canyon on the way there and shoot 93 straight back.

Gotta say, for someone in Michigan, you got that route mapped out perfectly. Only thing I would add, going or coming back, take old Route 66 west of Kingman and ride out to Oatman. Cool road, the burros on main street, and just browsing around town is a fun afternoon.

spend a few weeks in AZ every year in the fall, was gonna put the Oatman leg in too, just wasn't sure of the amount of time they had. Next year we're headed towards the Coranodo Trail and that side of the state.

If you take the route through Seligman (old Rt. 66) stop at the Road Kill Cafe. They have a great buffalo burger plus other goodies.

Had a great trip .. just over 1100 miles...made the trip very easy and enjoyed each destination..
Day 1 - Phx to Flagstaff
Day 2 - Flagstaff to Kanab, Ut
Day 3 - Liked Kanab, so spent another day hiking
Day 4 - Kanab to Zion National Park - Hike day
Day 5 - Stayed in Zion and hiked all day
Day 6 - Zion to Las Vegas
Day 7 - More time in Vegas than headed back to Phx

Thanks to all for your advice..
