help with itinerary
 

I am planning a family trip. I need some assistance with my itinerary, I am staying in Las Vegas for 2 days and then going to Zion, staying the night and then going to Bryce where we will stay 2 nights. Next to Lake Powell for 2 nights and then back to Las Vegas. I have planned to rent a boat in Lake Powell, but am looking for suggestions for sights inbetween Bryce and Lake Powell and Zion and Bryce. I would love to go to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes but am not sure where to fit it in. Thanks.

Hi Jill,<BR><BR>Honestly, your time at each park is so short, that I don't think you'll have time for sights in between.<BR><BR>The Coral Sand Dunes are a very short southern detour out of Zion, so you could see them on the way to Bryce.<BR><BR>Have fun.

Spend more time in Zion. There is so much to see there. Get out and walk around a little. Rent a bike or rent an intertube in Springdale and go tubing in the Virgin River. <BR><BR>Utahtea

I agree it is a short time. Of the three places you mentioned I would spend a little less time at lake powell & more at the others.

A trip to Lake Powell is worthwhile. You might consider touring a slot canyon--the neat narrow, orange colored canyons you see in alot of SW pictures and also in TV commercials. I believe you can take a 1/2 day for about $25 person. Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon near Lake Powell. Monument Valley is also close by. Although somewhat touristy, it is very beautiful and worth seeing. I really enjoyed it. If you are in a fairly sturdy vehicle you can do a self guided tour.
