12 night trip: CA to UT & CO Natl. Parks
I am planning our summer roadtrip for June. Time is tight this year and I think I only have 12 nights. Might be able to squeeze in a few more nights if needed. Main goal is visiting the NP's in So...

We've been to all but Great Sand Dunes, so here's my quick recommendation:
Zion: 1 and this will allow you to take the shuttle and take some short hikes, and still drive over to see Kolob Canyon.
Bryce: 2 for the shuttle tour and hike down into the park which is well worth it.
Capitol Reef: 1
Arches: 1 and maybe a second day for Canyonlands.
Rocky Mountain National Park: 1
Mesa Verde: 2 to see several ruins and drive to Four Corners. Might as well since you're there and maybe take the train in Durango.
