10 days in Utah in June

What are your top three or four places to see in Utah in June?

We won't be jeeping, hiking, or riding horses. Mostly I'd like to hear about great towns and scenery. A little someplace to walk around in the day, and then a great place to camp. Which of the NP's are at the top of your list?

Dry campsite ideas are welcome too. We are driving a 25 foot Class C.

This could be as little as 2 or 3 stops total, or we could make a handful of two-day stops. Whatever seems good.

Thanks!

(I'll be cutting and pasting similar questions for some other states.)

  • Springdale, by Zion. There is a bus that you can ride for free through town and to the park. Nice little town. Beautiful area.

    If you followed my other post on Colorado - I brought you out of Colorado to I-70 then RT 128 into Moab - from Moab I'd take you to Monument Valley - then to Page/Lake Powell - on to the North Rim - then if you can just head back to Zion - Bryce - Kodachrome - Escalante - RT 12 _ Goblins - Capital Reef - or you could go counter clockwise and come out in the south at the North Rim and Page.

    Best of Luck,
  • X2 on bhoth's suggestions. In addition to Arches, the Island in the Sky portion of Canyonlands NP is nearby. Also We love the drive on route 128 out of Moab as far as Fisher Towers. The road is alongside the Colorado River and in a canyon. Feels somewhat like driving at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

    After Goblin Valley, drive route 24 through Capital Reef NP and pick up route 12 to Bryce Canyon. Route 12 is a spectacular drive. However, there was a post yesterday that a landslide took out a section of route 12 near Bryce, leaving only one lane open. Before you go that way, check current conditions.
  • Arches (Moab), Goblin Valley, Bryce National Park, Zions National Park

    Goblin Valley is not a full day but it's pretty cool.
