Maryland to Colorado to New Mexico and Arizona

Headed back to my old neighborhood this weekend. Hoping to capture some fall colors in the mountains with some photography, hiking and fly fishing. Planning to hit Crystal Mill outside Marble, CO. Take Last Dollar Road into Telluride and spend some time at Alta Lakes. Ophir Pass to Silverton and have a base camp near the Bandera Mine on Mineral Creek. Drop down to NM for a couple of days fly fishing the San Juan River and exploring the Bisti Wilderness. Pick my wife up in Durango and head to the Grand Canyon and Sedona, via Monument Valley.

Very familiar with SW Colorado an NW New Mexico but any insights into the Arizona portion would be greatly appreciated. As of now, planning to base camp in the Kaibab NF east of Grand Canyon Village and then taking Schnebly Hill Rd. and camping at the top as a base for Sedona.
