Twice we have flown into Las Vegas, rented a car, and explored S. Utah. The 1st time was a short trip Dec, 2009 and we stayed in Springdale, UT - Zion and Bryce Canyon NP’s. Wonderful: no crowds, VERY crisp air, and the roads were plowed. The 2nd time in March, 2011 was 11 days: Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Arches NP’s, Monument Valley. We stayed in motels a few days in Escalante, Moab, Blanding, Page and explored. A great trip but lots of driving. Southern Utah is well worth it.
In March, 2012 we flew into and stayed a week in Durango, CO - Mesa Verde NP, Hovenweep NP, Silverton RR, Four Corners. Another wonderful trip.
With 2 kids you are limited to spring, summer, fall breaks. Been there, done that, but our experience has been that an airplane and motel(s) got us into and back home quicker than the RV. Now that we’re retired, time is no longer of the essence. We thank God for that.
