Planning a trip, and checking for diesel fuel availability in route.
We will get off I-40 at Flagstaff, travel north to Grand Canyon South Rim, North Rim, Zion National Park, then travel to I-15 north. Are there fuel stops between I-40 and I-15?
And what are your travel suggestions?

There is Diesel at Cameron on Hwy 89 also at Kanab UT and others along the way. That is a great trip. We live in Cornville AZ, south of Flagstaff. Have a safe trip and a great time. We went to the North Rim last Sept took the MCI 7 towing the Harley trike, rode into the North Rim on the trike and froze parts of our atanamoty off.
Hello AJ, we are running a rv resort just 35 mins. from zion np.

stop bye if you get a chance. All the Best M&C
From the south rim to the north rim is 215 miles and five hours. Most folks underestimate this. There is fuel in Tuba City. You will probably need to fuel again in Kanab. North rim is not open yet but will be later this month.
The Park Service campground at the south rim has a strictly enforced length limit of 30'. The concessionaire-operated "trailer village," much smaller, much less attractive, and usually full (so book early) can accommodate larger rigs. The north rim technically has a limit of 35', but enforcement is not as stringent and the ranger will often let you in to take your chances.
Entering Zion from the east requires a permit and an escort through the tunnel. In high season they run regular convoys; right now it will be by appointment. Budget a few hours; you never know when you will be able to get through. The tunnel permit is $15, and that's on top of any entry fee, even if you have a pass.
Beautiful drive -- enjoy it.
