In the spirit of this blog, I took a shortcut. After 6.5 hours of driving, I was on Rt. 59 in Apple Valley Utah about 8 miles from the UT/AZ border. To get to Springdale, UT from this point, you can continue on Rt. 59 to Hurricane, UT and backtrack about 25 miles on Rt. 9. Or, you can cut across Smithsonian Butte to Rt. 9 in Rockville, UT, which is about 7 miles. Then, it's just about a mile to Springdale. It was slow-going on the dirt/gravel road, but very scenic.

Nope. Unless you consider "fists of fury" to be packin'.
