I would stay away from national parks and remote areas. Many people have gone missing in national parks, inlcuding the Grand Canyon. Google search David Paulides or Missing 411.

We did that some years ago and all went well. We stayed right in the park a few meters from the canyon. Today, that might not be possible and finding reservations now for this year may not be realistic. It was crowded back then, today it can only be much more so. The helicopter ride was interesting, but not essential at all.

Flying commercial is a real pain in the ass these days. Personally, I'd rather use Amtrack. For around the same price as some commercial airline flight, you can get a bedroom on an Amtrack train. You have your own private bed, bathroom and shower. So it saves time. You can shit, shower and shave. Read a book, take a nap, have sex or whatever on the way to your destination.

Hmm..never stopped along that route. Somehow we went through the painted canyons, that was just beautiful.

Can't find any pictures online that are similar to what I've seen. I know it was west of Las Vegas.

It looked like a Boyd's stock, but more irregular with layers of rock in a cliff.

Buy a tour packet and let your agent set up the trip properly.

Yes, hire an agent to do the work for you.

Wasting your time in that stinking desert ... Olympic Mountains is where you want to be ...

I'm sorry, you seem to think 1300 miles is a long way? ... maybe stay east of the Mississippi, because that bearly gets you out of some western states ...
