10/22 Afternoon arrival LAS
10/23 LAS
10/24 LAS
10/25 Day trip: Death Valley
10/26 Drive via Kingman to the South Rim, stay in the area
10/27 Drive to Horseshoe Bend, stay in Page
10/28 Antelope Canyon, Drive via Monument Valley to Moab, stay in Moab
10/29 Arches National Park, stay in Moab
10/30 Canyonlands National Park, Corona Arch, stay in Moab
10/31 Drive via Goblins Valley to Capitol Reef National Park, stay in Torrey
11/1 Drive to Bryce Canyon National Park, stay close to Bryce Canyon
11/2 Drive to Zion National Park, stay in St. George/Hurricane/Springdale
11/3 Drive via Valley of Fire back to LAS, stay in LAS
11/4 Evening departure LAS

Does that make sense? Are there any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
I disagree with others----

the planning is actually decent....

The only 2 issue...

1. 28th doing Antelope canyon in the AM then its 5 hr drive thru Monument Valley to Moab. At this time there is only about 11 hrs of sun.

You don't want to drive at dark.

2. Zion requires more time. night in springdale then spend entire day in Zion leaving around 5pm for Vegas. Instead of death valley, that day do Valley of Fire for the day and then night in Kingman.

An alternate route you could do....


skip Moab then do death valley to Joshua tree to Grand canyon to Page to MV to torrey via UT 95 to Bryce to zion then to Vegas. try to do an overnight in death valley and for Joshua traa a night in 29 Palms.
