[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people so concerned with staying on east coast time for trips that are 8 and 10 days (or any length of time for that matter)? I honestly don't see what you are trying to achieve by doing this.[/quote]

If your body is naturally waking up at 7-8 a.m., (which could be 4-5 a.m. local time) why would you want to just sit around in your hotel room waiting for the clock to say 8:00 local time (which may be 10:00 or 11:00 to your body) before you get up and eat breakfast?  And then everyone will be tired in the evening at 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. local time.... are you going to make sure everyone stays up until 9:00 local time (which is either 11:00 p.m. or midnight -- depending if you are in AZ or UT)?  That seems silly to me.  Why not use your body's natural waking time to your advantage?  Check out of your hotel and get to the spot you want to be during those morning hours that you are awake and no one is on the roads.

FWIW, we did naturally shift about an hour during a 7 day trip.   It was no trouble for us to be at Zion's parking lot at 8:00 a.m. to get a spot.  It was no trouble being at our Colorado river float at 10:00 a.m. even though we had a 2.5 -3 hr. drive before that -- b/c we stayed on East Coast time.  No problem seeing sunrise at Bryce -- b/c it was 2 hrs. later to us!

I don't see the point of wasting morning hours sitting in a hotel room when we are all awake.[/quote]
