Planning a ghost town trip through California, Nevada and western Utah. Looking for input!

[offroad.GX]

This trip will be about 10 days and will start in two weeks. I mapped it out to around 1800 miles and I want to keep it under 200 miles a day average to avoid spending the whole time driving. I have a route planned but this will be my first time driving most of these roads. I'm looking for opinions on the places I've picked so far, and also suggestions for other options in the area. Here's what I have so far (you can click on the map for details on each stop):

Looks like a great trip! I would suggest from Zion NP (E) continue through the park to Mt. Carmel Junction, then head North on HWY 89 to Bryce Canyon(F). Time wise it'll be about sixes, and the scenery factor will be much better than I-15. I'm in Hurricane near ZNP if you need specific info on the area I'd be happy to help.

Looks like a super awesome trip. Will be following as I am looking up the same trip for the fall with my family. Starting out in San Diego Ca. Good luck & safe travels.

Very nice. Next week, we’re going from Grand Staircase back to the CA Bay Area ourselves. Do you have any stops in Nevada?
