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...

Good point made about the heat. Best time to see things in hot places is early (until 11 am or noon) and late (after supper, when the sun is low). The Narrows in Zion is always cool due to the high rock walls plus the water temp. Capitol Reef and Canyonlands can be enjoyed by driving through them, which means air conditioning. Arches is a series of turnouts with walks ranging from short to long, again you have A/C breaks in between.
Remember that if you get sick and tired of the heat, there are high elevation areas you can go to instead of the lower, hotter parks. So all will not be lost.
