Bryce Canyon via Cedar Breaks on 14 to I-15 to Hurricane

[Americanrascal]

I'm just trying to get an anecdotal real feel for road and grade conditions going from Bryce Canyon down to Cedar Breaks NM using US 89 then UT 14 to I-15 for a run to Hurricane UT.

I've worn the Mountain Directory out looking at this and don't have a warm fuzzy about 14 running my 28000 lb gasser with a toad. I've handled some good steep grades but don't have a good clear feel about what I've read on 14. Not sure I should be doing it in a gasser?

Has anyone out there run this rout in a gasser towing of late and could you share your experieicne.
Thanks
Joe

Although Hwy 14 'can' be done it's a very steep highway. Instead, I'd recommend going a little north on 89 just past Panguitch and taking Hwy 20 across then south on I-15.

OK - I had thought the Panguitch - 20 route was probably the best but wanted to check. I'm at Cap Reef at the moment and will work my way down to Bryce next. Spending a lot of time listening high RPMs and the tranny grinding gears here in Utah! LOL

I followed Twogypsies advice earlier and it worked perfectly for us (37'DP pulling 4dr Jeep Wrangler). Plenty to see in the area if you have a tow vehicle. We day tripped to Capital Reef NP. Also went into Kodachrome Basin State Park for a day hike. Enjoy!
