Route taken from Las Vegas:

 

I-15 to Utah, then Route 9 to Zion NP and spent the night at the lodge there.

 

Took Route 9 to Route 89 and then Route 12 into Bryce Canyon and spent the night at the lodge there, as well.

 

Continued on Route 12 along Grandstaircase-Escalante until we hit Route 24. Took Route 24 thru Capitol Reef NP and spent the night at the lovely Whispering Sands motel in Hanksville.

 

Next day, took Route 24 north to I-70 East, had breakfast in Green River, then continued east to Route 128 south near Cisco. Took Route 128 south all the way along the Colorado River into Moab. Stayed at the Ramada and visited the Arches NP that afternoon.

 

Next day, Went to Canyonlands NP (Island in the Sky section), back to Moab for lunch, then headed south on 191 toward Blanding, cut back west on 95 thru Valley of the Gods, and then south on 261 to Mexican Hat. Spent the night at the San Juan Inn.

 

Next Day, took Route 163 into Arizona and thru Monument Valley, and had breakfast in Kayenta at the Blue Coffee Pot Cafe. Continued on 160 toward TUuba City, picked up 89 south and then hit 64 west into the Grand Canyon. Stayed at Maswick Lodge, but I would definitely stay at Bright Angel if you can get a reservation.

 

Last day, took 64 out of the park all the way to Williams. Had breakfast at the Route 66 Diner, then took I-40 to Kingman. From there, took 93 N/W across Hoover Dam and then thru Boulder City, Henderson, and back to Las Vegas.

That had to be a great ride.  I see by the views, etc. that you get into the photography, also.

And your user name........you have a 54' Sea Ray?  I'd like to see photos of that, too.  Several boaters on here.
