Given my druthers I'd definitely detour. But on that trip we had enough time and money to drive straight from New Orleans to the Canyon, spend half a day there, and then drive straight back. As it happened, our car broke down in Albuquerque, we ended up coming back late and over budget, and I never did get to see the Canyon. I did get to see Carlsbad Cavern on the way back, though, so that was a nice consolation prize.
