Bachan - I did a trip very similar to this a long time ago, visiting the Grand Canyon, Arches, Zion, Monument Valley and a number of other places. I've also done Sedona. You will have a blast! The geographic variety in the US is mind boggling! You should get up to Yellowstone if you have a chance.

I didn't see Yosemite National Park listed on your list! It is amazing! I just went a couple months ago and I was blown away!

Hi Bachan ... hope you're having a great time! I agree with Randi -- you should make the loop up north to Yellowstone (or at least into Wyoming & Idaho and northern Colorado & Utah) if you don't mind adding a few miles between Moab and Cedar City. And Yosemite National Park is awesome, too.

Yes you are right , yosemite is amazing , I was there 2 yrs back around the same time . We were mostly camping in the Tioga pass area, it is amazing at this time of the year with snow covered monutains and some of the lakes partially snow covered.

Sounds like a great trip! I'm taking one similar, although a little smaller, in less than two weeks. Thanks for posting your trip, it was very helpful!
