Southern Utah in late June?

We are wondering how brutal southern Utah is in late June?

We have been to all of the major parks there at other times of the year, and have family members who really want to see the area.

Late June is our only time available.

We know elevation is key to temperature, and think Bryce Canyon would probably be fine.

We are seeking advice on whether this can be an enjoyable trip, and what specific parks/areas can be comfortable temperature-wise.

We are okay into the lower 90's, but hate the thought of much higher temps.

Mainly, we would be sightseeing, driving, and taking short hikes. Would driving Route 12 then be pleasant or too hot?

What about Capitol Reef? We are planning to go to Yellowstone prior to Utah to avoid the crowds there, and want to see

Colorado after we leave Utah.

We will be towing a fifth wheel.

Please give us your recommendations and suggestions on whether this area can be enjoyable then. Thanks.

Doable sure just requires planning - early before Hot/Heat - late when it cools down - after 7 usually till Dark - Drive Car/Toad/Truck in the heat of the day between spots - IMHO Hiking is not fun in the Sun with no shade.

How much time do you have - to do all of the trip?

Bouncing between Colorado and Utah might also work as you will be able to get some Cool to go with the Heat:) Also the distances are not too bad so it could be that you could get back and forth with some good planning - we have done it before - but usually three days is pushing it in the Summer for Utah, JMHO.

Where will you go in Colorado? Lots there and much of it will be Hot and Crowded if not well planned.

One last thought is to not try to just check Boxes and to Go Where All just Enjoy and Have FUN!

(Easy for me to say as I've checked almost all the Boxes:S)

Best of Luck you can do it - and it will be FUN!!!!
