- Day 6 – Moab - Dead Horse Point State Park - Capitol Reef - Bryce Canyon.
- Canyonlands and Zion are truly priceless, and Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, & Arches are all unique and have their own charms.

Cons
- Capitol Reef is a really strange place with a lot of unexpected odds and ends in weird corners.
