How long are you going to be gone for? Honestly, I think it's a MUST that you should stop by Zion National Park on the way from SLC to the Grand Canyon. It's easily one of my all-time favorite National Parks. But it's probably a 2-3 day stop ideally at the minimum. You should probably also hit up Bryce Canyon for less than a day and then head down to it if time permits. I don't remember much from the South Rim but I really feel you'll get about everything from just going to the North Rim. It's a pretty nice area, but going around and seeing from the other side isn't going to improve the experience imo.

LogisticEarth posted:Bryce is nice ( But you can really say that about almost all of the UT/NZ/AZ/(CO) parks and monuments. I used to go to Zion a ton in the early 90s and it was great and felt very desert+forest wildernessy with a lot of mystique, and it's still amazing, but like a lot of those areas, they lose some of the awe inspiring lonesomeness now that they've been built up to accommodate shitload of people with signs/big rear end parking lots/cafes/bus stops/a spa/whatever. There's something that makes them very memorable when there's almost no one and very little infrastructure around to guide you except for a dingy visitor center. I think it's time to plan another SW trip again myself.

) but it has really, really gotten swamped with crowds. I was there in the early 90's as a kid, and it was a totally different experience. Having been back a few times since then, I'm always disappointed at the size of the crowds. Too close to Vegas for it's own good.
