Canyonlands, Arches, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Grand Staircase NM, are all on the list. 3, maybe 4 motorcycle riders, 2 wives that will be staying with the RV's, and we are thinking of Moab as a base camp in September. Maybe also Richfield or Cedar City. The bikes are all road bikes, this is not an off road exploration at all. We want to have a base camp where the ladies can have A/C, and we can meet up for the evenings. Only firm info is we are going in late September. Open to suggestions on what we can do for 5 days, and a decent RV park.

to echo the other posters; 5 days isn't enough to see Arches and Islands in the Sky, let alone the rest of your list. A lot of these park can't be seen from behind a steering wheel (or handlebars.) Needles District has a lot of roads winding around inside it, might be more suited to seated viewing.

x2 Not really that close together to have one base camp you need to look at a map more carefully Zion, Bryce, Capital Reef, Moab was 372 miles

We used 4 parks and 19 days to see all Five parks
