There is a lot to take in here!
I spent the better part of the day Sunday working on our trip plans. I will share it below.
But to help clarify our intentions, this trip is doing many things for our family. First, I love this country and everything it has to offer. I want my daughters to know and to see it the same way that I do. The second is to force us to set time aside and be a family. As you all know, life goes by in the blink of an eye.
Our dog, Labrador Retriever, Savannah, goes with us everywhere. She will be on the trip and stay comfortably cool in the RV as we are exploring. I only brought up that we had a pet, because I know some parks are not pet friendly.
As far as the heat. It is what it is. We will plan accordingly, and drinks lots of beverages!!

Ryan, sounds Great, The good is that you are spending some time at the planned stops - the bad not enough stops - Get up early - Use lots of SunScreen - Floppy hats to cover your Ears - start early and get off the trails by noon and you will be fine. Think about the drive to Bryce - will be a little cooler but still hot mid day - might be worth the effort to camp there, JMHO
You will Love the Trip,
