Route planning to Zion National Park
Has anyone driven from the Grand Canyon North Rim to Zion National Park. What is the best approach into Zion. A shorter more direct route enters from the east via Mt Carmel Junction, a longer route loops underneath before entering Zion via Hurricane from the west. There apparently is a tunnel on the Mt Carmel east route which requires an escort for larger RVs, and I've read can cause backups/delays. This route also has some switchbacks, not sure how bad these are. Should I be concerned and just go the longer west route - this seems less complicated but does add time to the trip (I think 1- 2 hrs). I'll be in a 32ft class C. Thanks
