Rabbit Thanks again for the information.
We will be traveling in a Dodge diesel megacab 4x4. It goes good but not very maneuverable.

After our third day in St George we have no lodging and plan on playing it by ear. We will have camping gear. Then we have 8 days remaining before we have to go back to work. I think we will probably stay in that area longer. I have family in Wy. so we make that trip often and can bypass it this time.

If we can take the heat we plan to do a good bit of hiking. I don't think Angels landing would work for us. Steep doesn't go well with a bum knee. We will definitely check out as many of your recommendations as we can.
