Summer trip to Antelope Can and Escalante?
Hi Folks, Planning a summer vacation - likely first 2 weeks of august. We live in souther Arizona, and I was thinking of Antelope and Escalante. What does everyone think? We've been to all the Utah...

Escalante is almost 6,000' elevation so it's not going to be extremely hot. If you haven't been to Bryce Nat'l Park or Capitol Reef Nat'l Park you could do all 3 along Hwy 12 - a gorgeous drive. Escalante has some easy slot canyons to get to with short walks such as Peek-A-Boo and Spooky - ones we did. The Visitor Center would have information. There's a RV park in Escalante along with lots and lots of boondocking. The 2 national parks have campgrounds and there are also a couple state parks along the highway and Calf Springs has a campground and a cool swim spot.

Save Antelope Canyon for an October trip when visitation is a little less. It just takes an hour or so to do the tour. Page, AZ has campgrounds - dry camping at Lone Rock on the lake and hookups closer to town - both within Glen Canyon Nat'l Rec Area. There's also boondocking in the area.
