TT West 2026 – The Best of TT West Following Scenic Route 89 in Utah and Arizona
From 2002 to 2023, TT West has visited attractions along parts of Route 89 in Utah and Arizona. This 850 mile trip following Route 89 in southern Utah and northern Arizona covers all of those great places we’ve visited in the past and takes you through the most beautiful country in the US. This trip visits National and State Parks and Monuments that include Cedar Breaks, Bryce, Zion, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Grand Canyon, Wupatki and Tuzigoot ancient Indian ruins, old western forts, and picturesque Sedona.
The tentative start date is Sunday May 31 with an optional late afternoon drive to Parawan Gap ancient petroglyphs. Monday we drive some twisties to Brian head ski resort on our way to Cedar Breaks National Monument. The main attraction in the afternoon are the unusual and spectacular rock formations of Bryce National Park.
Tuesday starts by visiting Zion National Park, followed by climbing the giant dunes at Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, and ends with a visit to Pipe Springs National Monument which is an old western frontier fort.
Wednesday visits the Grand Canyon and includes one of the most beautiful drives in the United States from the forests of Jacob Lake with its twisties to Vermillion Cliffs National Park and a stop at Lee’s Ferry which was the only place to cross the Colorado River in the old days. We end the day staying at the Historic Navajo Nation Cameron Trading Post.
On Thursday we continue south on Rout 89 to Wupatki National Monument which features 900 year old Native American ruins. We follow its loop road to the extinct Sunset volcanic crater cinder cone. Then lunch in Flagstaff. We follow Rt 89A to the spectacular Oak Creek Canyon vista on our way to the beautiful red rock town of Sedona.
Friday’s route is a “there and back” to enjoy the Rout 89A mountain twisties south of the ghost town of Jerome AZ twice in the same day. We start off visiting 1000 year old ruins of Tuzigoot National Monument, then attack the twisties, and end at the Phippin Museum of Western Art near Prescott. We have lunch in Prescott Valley and return to Sedona over the same twisties.
TT West began in 2001 when a group of Southern California TT owners wanted to test their new cars which had only recently been imported to North America. The first TT West was held in Graeagle, California and has been held annually since then.

All drivers and passengers must be at least 18 years of age at the start of the drive. For safety reasons, participants with “learner” driving licenses are not allowed to drive during TT West.
