Day 1...I'd certainly make stops at Durango for THE Worlds best & most famous Steam train ride than on to Mesa Verde, America's best preserved ancient dwellings. I'd certainly Skip North G. Canyon and use that time to stay on Lake Powell near Page at Wa-Weap RV Resort ON THE LAKE! Evidently U'r gonna go down the mountain to see Zion and than back Up to go to Bryce. At or near Bryce, on Rt. 12 is a wonderful water/toilets only campground called Red Canyon. Its just after the very famous short tunnel you've certainly seen pictures of. Than AT Bryce we always stay at Ruby's Inn RV Park. Very nice with EVERYTHING in the world you may need including RV repair. Than just up the Hyway and a turn to the rite is Kodachrome Stat Park. Very interesting place with nice hikes. Going North-East on Rt.12 is a small State Pk. with electric At escalante. Farther along is THE Calf Creek State Pk. We always stay there. A really wonderful, altho water only park. The entrance sign says 27 feet or less but we get our 34 foot class'A' in ok. Farther along is The 'Hogsback' section of Rt.12. Don't let people scare you off it. Not really bad. Still farther is the little 'Village' of Boulder with it Indian ruins but the best thing here is the drive, East, out of town down into Long Canyon on the paved Hyway that used to be the Burr trail cattle route. Back on Rt.12 goes up the east flank of Boulder Mtn. Very nice Nat'l Forest CG's up there.Onwards down into thown of Torrey, 2 nice private full hookup RV parks here. Than eastwards thru Capital Reef Nat'l Pk. This is certainly worth a 2 day stop. Than on to Moab. Moab is a destination all to itself and you should spend at least 10 days exploring just IT's Canyonlands & Arches areas.
