Driving Bryce-Canyonlands-Arches in late November? Snow?

We are headed to Zion then Bryce late next week. We would love to continue to Canyonlands then Arches then south to Grand Canyon. Can anyone give me your thoughts on the roads? We have a 35ft Class A with tow. We do not want to drive in snow. Do you think it is risky? Anyone know how the roads are? I really appreciate your help!

Thanks,
Kim

    Brian Head is a ski resort in the S Utah mountains. The base is 9600', about the same as nearby Cedar Breaks Nat Mon. Currently they aren't reporting snow.

    Bryce a bit lower, I think about 7000'. UT12 on the way from Bryce to Capitol Reef is highest on flanks of Boulder Mtn, north of the town of Boulder (about 8000').

    NOAA has a 7day forecast that is adjusted local altitude.
    NOAA 7day at Bryce
    They are predicting 55/23 temperatures, with a slight chance of snow showers on the weekend.
    You can check other spots in the area.

    UT DOT also has a current road conditions report.
