Utah Vacation

Headed to Utah in September/October 2017. Here is my travel plans as of now. Please let me know if this sounds good. We will do day trips for our outings once we get to final destinations.
Day 1: Sacramento to Winnemucca,NV RV Park. (Overnight)
Day 2: Winnemucca,NV to Nephi UT. (1 night at High Country RV Park)
Day 3: Nephi,UT. to Moab UT. at Arch RV Park & Campground. (Will stay here for a few days. Maybe 4,5, or 6).
Then from Moab to Virgin UT. Stay at Zion River Resort for balance of trip (4,5 days) before heading back to Sacramento.

How does this sound along with places we plan on staying. Any and all feedback welcome.

Thank you.

    Sounds like a fun trip, my only question being why Nephi Utah if your first destination point is Moab? Sounds like you're planning to take I15 down to I70 then heading East. I would take Hwy 6 at Spanish fork connecting with I70 a few miles west of Green River Utah. Hwy 6 is a good road, heavily used by truck, RV, and towed boat traffic.


    Ditto, most people going from Northern Utah to Moab will go through Spanish Fork canyon, through Price to Green River and get on I-70 there.

  • We have traveled 40 states and one of my favorite places is Zion Nat'l Park. Don't miss it!!
  • The most memorable trips are those that the rig is parked, and the passengers enjoy the surroundings for a few days.

    The campsites will be packed solid, so book early, get a good spot to enjoy the views, and have a great time.
