Canyonlands/Glen Canyon is beautiful as well.
We have been to Lake Powell, water level was low...we want to return..get a jet ski or small boat and explore the slot canyons and again, photograph.
Bryce, Zion...of the 2...Bryce is my favorite...we stayed there 3 days...did so much exploring ! Escalante and Grand staircase ... we were going to visit, but had to abort, as we had a brake problem ... note..remember to use transmission to slow down when stopping at every turn in the road to take photos !! (note to newbie..seasoned rv'ers even make mistakes...use transmission to brake/slow on steep grades)
So, we still have some Utah homework to do and look forward to that...those areas may be on our itinerary this year.
Remember the NorthEast corner of Arizona too ! Awesome ! and SouthWest Corner of Colorado...Mesa Verde, etc. Around Las Vegas is beautiful country as well. Let's not leave out NM .. some interesting and beautiful area.
and....that is just for starters...
Soooo much to see...sooo little time !

Sounds like you've done a lot of exploring in Utah. I'm not sure many people who haven't been the those areas you mentioned realize how big an area we're talking about here. And how remote it is. From Moab, Utah going west on 1-70 to 1-15 which runs north and south out of Salt Lake toward Arizona is about 200 miles i would say. All of the area south of that line can be called the Canyon Lands i guess. You can drive along 70 and look to the south and see nothing but CanyonLands for several hours. I'll bet there are areas out there where even the Indians haven't been yet who were there a 1,000 years ago. Several years ago, there was a outdoorsman who went alone into a remote slot canyon in there and somehow got his arm stuck. After 4 days of waiting for someone to come along to help ended up using his pocket knife to cut his arm off or starve to death. True story. He lived to tell the story. Lives in Boulder Colorado now i think. doesn't do much alone hiking in Utah anymore.
