Okay so my husband and I are planning to fly into Vegas, rent a car, and try to hit all 5 Utah national parks in 7 days. I’ve been mapping it out and the driving distances are making me nervous. Zion to Bryce seems fine but then getting up to Arches and Canyonlands is like 4 to 5 hours each way?
Are we crazy for trying to do all 5? Should we just pick 3 and actually enjoy them instead of spending half the trip in the car? We’re moderate hikers (nothing crazy, maybe 5 to 8 miles a day) and want to do at least one iconic trail at each park. If you had to cut 2 parks which would you skip?
