    Tips on what to see along / near this route.

    At Panaca, NV the detour to both Cathedral Gorge State Park, and Echo Canyon are advised. Suggested detour, at Cedar City, I'd go South in I-15 t0 SR 17, to La Verkin, taking 9 through Zion N.P. to Mt. Carmel Junction, then head North in 89 to 12. DG
