Just got back from two week trip to the Big 5 in Utah. Traveled across Nevada both ways- 50 East (hilly) and Extraterrestrial West (boring). Stops & Comments:
Ely NV (KOA good) Great Basin NP (great cave tour & drive up mountain)
Moab UT (Portal RV very nice) Canyonlands NP & Dead Horse SP = jr Grand Canyon
Arches NP is spectacular
Dinosaur bones/footprints & petroglyphs great
Drive up river to Red Cliffs Lodge
Torrey UT (1000 Lakes RV good) Capitol Reef NP (Fruita & Tanks hike great)
Bryce Canyon UT (Ruby's RV fair) Ebenezer's Cowboy Show was great, NP bus tour good
Hurricane UT (WillowWind RV great) Zion NP hike at top great
Switchback Grill is a must
