Trip planning input / help request

I'm not as seasoned as most here, but I still have an opinion. ;)
We went from SC to the GCNP two years ago (see link in sig). I would suggest staying in the southern Utah parks for the whole trip. Easily enough to keep your jaw on the ground the whole time, and you cut your driving by a huge percentage.
We did petrified forest, walnut canyon, sunset crater, grand canyon, lake powell, zion, bryce, goblin valley, arches, canyon lands. All in that area. I remember commenting to my wife that at our 2 week point, we were in bryce and could have gone home that day and already had the trip of a lifetime. We had another 4 weeks that we went on to other things, but you don't.
Point, spend less time driving. Besides, the whole leg to GCNP would be a disappointment if all you saw was GCNP.
We're making the Yellowstone, Tetons, Badlands trip this coming year.
Also, you are not early to be figuring this out. Many places may already be booked.
