driving itinerary

Yippee..we think we have a new plan for our summer 2010 trip.

Fly into Salt Lake City, rent car

Drive to Yellowstone, spend a glorious week.

Leave Yellowstone, drive to Zion/Bryce/Arches/Canyonlands and spend a week exploring, hiking, photography,etc.

We%26#39;ve been to the Tetons, so that is not a must see for the trip out of Yellowstone.

Where would be a good half way point to spend the night between YNP and Southern Utah Parks?

Still not sure which park will be first but most likely Zion as it is the furthest south.

We will then drive back to SLC, drop off the car and fly to Denver to visit family. Time is flexible as I have the entire summer off so if we needed to add a day here or there we can do that.

Thanks for any suggestions!

It%26#39;s about 600 miles from West Yellowstone (just for an example) to Springdale, UT at the entrance to Zion National Park. It could be done in one day, but my rear gets tired of sitting that long, so I%26#39;d be looking to stop somewhere between Salt Lake City and Springdale, except there aren%26#39;t any bigger cities in that area. I might think about spending part of the day in Yellowstone and getting a later start, stopping in Salt Lake-Provo area and going on the next day.

Hi there,

We have done this trip a few times and have stopped at Vernal and Grand Junction. Vernal is close to Dinosaur National Monument and Grand Junction has lots of lodging options.

An absolute must is driving state highway 128 from I70 to Moab it is probably one of the most scenic roads in the world. It’s a great way to start your visit to Arches National Park.

Hi Pozj. Can%26#39;t help with where to stop, but it sounds like a great trip!
