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

think Bryce is overlooked when people compare the two. It’s also less busy. I’ve not been to Zion in years so maybe it’s not as crazy busy as it was before.

Regardless, I’d do Bryce and Zion before I’d do the others, but that’s just my personal preference.

Fishlake probably is pretty cool this time of year if you want to see fall colors

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.

If you're up for it, Coyote gulch/Hamblin Arch + Hole in Rock in that area too.

What activities do you want to do? Hiking, fishing, mtn biking, auto tour, etc?

Hiking and possibly fishing. No mountain biking. Maybe a little auto tour too

If you've been to Zion/Bryce and/or don't like crowds, then SingleStrap's advice above is good. I love that whole area

If you’ve never been to those, I would do a day at Zion, day at Bryce, and hit

It is only 1h20m drive between the two. No reason to budget a day for travel.

This. Bryce and Zion are world class parks. Everything else on the list is gravy

I put Zion at the bottom of my list but I've been there and I hate crowds. But maybe the crowds won't be as bad mid-week

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

I drove through Zion yesterday. It was pretty crowded.

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

If you get tix to hike Angel's Landing that's a good experience
