There is a detour due to the damage to US-89, and it adds about 50 miles between Flagstaff and Page.

Will camp at night.

Figure around a thousand miles when forays are figured in.

If you can swing it cut across into Illinois somewhere south of Quincy and north of Alton. The Great River Road through there is a beautiful ride. Be sure to time the trip for lunch or supper at Fast Eddie's in Alton, IL if you go that way.
