I agree with the other recommendations plus a good day trip while near Bryce Canyon is Scenic Highway 12 up to Capital Reef. That it is a good drive if you don't mind looking out either side of the truck straight down several hundred feet with no shoulder.  We recommend not towing on Hwy 12.

Just two favorite in Utah is tough. I think Utah has been one of our favorite places to visit too.
When we went to Zion, I was able to get reservations right in the park. Not a full hook up, I think it might have been electric only, remember stopping in the park to fill up our tank. We didn't have any problem with our 40 foot Montana with our site.
At Bryce there really is only one park that is close by, Ruby's Inn Campground, very convenient to drive to and they have a shuttle right outside the park.
US Highway 12 is a breathtaking drive too and Red Canyon State Park is a nice stop.
Loved Moab and the Arches too. Canyonland National Park, Dead Horse State Park
Sooo much to see. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
As you can see, I can't just do 2.....

Most have spoken about southern Utah. The northern part of the state is totally different with mountains, trees and lots of national and state parks. Check size restrictions before entering a park.

Living in Utah with 5 national parks it's always nice to head south to see all of that awesome red rock. At Zion'I would really recommend The Zion River Resort, Very Nice, really close to the park. Very clean camp ground, quiet. I would stay there again for sure. Just don't visit the parks during spring break, or free admission to the park day. WAY to crowded.
Enjoy!

Thanks to everyone. It looks like about three weeks is in the planning. We have identified three focal areas. We will locate ourselves if possible where we can use the campground as a jump off place to visit the areas near or around it. We are looking forward to the trip. Thanks again.

George, if you stay at Ruby's Inn at Bryce, you can easily cover Zion, Bryce and Capitol Reef. Then, slide over to Moab and visit Arches and Canyonlands NP's. If you have the time, Monument Valley and the slot canyons should also be on your list also.

The only advice I can give is where ever you go make your reservations as early as you can. We ended up in a nice campground called Temple View in St. George UT but it was not close to anything and we drove a round a lot.

Hi George,
You picked some good spots to visit. If you are staying at Gouldings in Monument Valley (or not), I would recommend taking their full day tour of the Valley, it was wonderful.

Hi Curtis.
We are staying at Gouldings. Thanks for the recommendation. Taking tours is something we have been discussing. The planning continues.

I have been making notes on some of these suggestions. Back in 2010 we did a 4,000 miles "out west" trip on the Harley. We didn't know much about Utah so we only spent time in the southern part. Out of all the western states we visited back then, southern Utah had some of the best scenery!
Even though we have been out west in the Montana since then I am pushing for another bike trip just to Utah. The whole state sounds like a hidden treasure!

We also plan to see this part of our world this summer. Is end of May an OK time to head that way from Chattanooga? This thread has also been VERY informative for us.

Yes. We went west in 2012, from FL. We left here on May 15, went up to St Louis then across to Utah. Great weather all the way across. Not too hot for our 2 weeks in Utah, which is a plus. I would love to go that way again!
