Thinking of maybe a 2019 trip to see these two national parks. Probably will be just a 7 day trip (6 nights) with 2 needed to travel from home and back, leaving 5 for the actual vacation.
I would love to see Moab and Monument Valley, and a ton of other places out that way, but I realize it is not realistic, so I narrowed it down to these 2 parks in Utah.
What is the best time of year- weather wise and less crowds?
I am thinking flying direct-non stop- into Las Vegas is the best from NY? Will not do connecting flights. Salt Lake is further from these parks I assume? Which park to do first- would that make a difference as to where we fly into?
We really like staying at a resort and at once place and also for use of a kitchen to limit eating out- but is this doable? We will be renting a car.
St George or Springdale near Zion?
How far time wise from St. George or Springdale to Bryce?
Or, should we just accept having to book 2 hotels? In the parks or out?
I will mention that we are not planning on doing major hiking or anything like that. We just want to sight see at the parks and the surrounding area.
Thanks ahead of time for your input.
