Anyone been that route? Any suggestions?

I've been on the I-40 from Flagstaff east to....can't remember, I was actually coming down from the NE.
I have also been up 89A through Utah all the way to British Columbia 3 times. Utah is fabuloous and SO worth it, some of the parts of the drive after that can be a bit boring but not too bad the first time through. It's very unlikely that early in the year but you could hit some snow at the high altitudes in AZ.
