best winter route for cross country drive

[sp2007]

We are driving from AZ to SLC, UT next month. Is Route 89 a good winter road between Flagstaff and Cedar City?

We just drove through there a few days ago. There are a lot of up and down roads through there, if you know what I mean! And there is no direct route -- you do realize that there is a "big ditch" that blocks your way!? (The Grand Canyon). That route is almost all mountainous roads. If you go that way, take your time, do not be in a hurry, and allow for bad driving weather. But, if you have to go, check out US Route 89 that goes around the east end of the Grand Canyon. That will certainly be the shortest route. To try to stay on Interstates can take you on a longer trip. Hope you have safe travel RevSam

I will be driving from Mass to San Diego the first week of Dec. AAA sent me a triptick and suggested using I80. After reading this posting, I think I need a more souther route. Any suggestion on getting from Mass to I10. Thanks

And you needed to bring up a post from 2007 to say this?

Watch the weather channel a few days before leaving, then choose your route.
