Zion (valley floor) and Arches will be very hot if the weather is normal. Bryce is at 8000-9000 ft and is usually cooler. Canyonlands and Capital Reef are variable depending on your location. Hiking in some of CRNP canyons can be blistering since the walls concentrate the heat. The solution for the hotter areas is to get up early and hike in the morning or wait until late afternoon/early evening when the temps -may- be a bit lower. In the summer the sun may not go down until almost 9 PM. Also you can find areas where you can hike in the shade in some of the parks. Not in Arches tho, at least on any of the trails I've been on.
No matter where you are carry a lot more water than you would back east. 2 Liters per hiker would not be too much. The combination of high temps and low humidity dry you out rapidly.
