Do the hike to Calf Creek Falls near Escalante if you can. It's on Hwy 12 east of Bryce. In fact, just driving Hwy 12

Calf Creek falls + spooky and peek a boo and maybe zebra depending on weather is a great day.

I’d put Bryce Canyon above the rest if you haven’t been yet. Zion is nice but I

Agreed, went to Bryce for the first time a couple years ago and loved it

Bryce and Zion at the top of the list. Skip Cedar Breaks, it's just a mini Bryce
