We stayed in Cambridge and came into the canyon via highway 71. 71 is a great road in itself and Cambridge is a neat little town but with limited accommodation so beware or book ahead if you are wanting to overnight.
The canyon road was scenic no doubt but I found it's poor surface and off camber corners to require constant attention which took away from the ride. Views are spectacular of course but you must choose your stopping points for photos carefully as the road is narrow. At then end of the day my riding partner agreed it was nice but we had more fun on the way in and out on 71 than on the canyon road itself.
