I just wanted to quickly resurrect this thread to include info that might be of use to someone. I accidentally missed my turn onto Rt 12 and went down 29. Why, I was so taken with the scenery, I completely forgot to look for the sign. Yup, blew right past it. I'm so glad I did. Go down 29 about 20-30mi. I was running out of daylight and didn't want to press my luck, especially after I discovered I missed my turn.

Got ahead of myself. Bryce Canyon was due to open in a day or two. In the mean time I had a very pleasant chat with a wonderful young lady, a Park Ranger. Very pleasant and very helpful. She suggested I make 'The Loop' if I was looking for something to do.

Look for 29 near Torrey Canal. Follow the signs to Capitol Reef. I went from left to right and glad I did. The views just kept getting better and better the more I drove. If I'd went the other way, the thrill would have been gone after Torrey.
