Utah has five national parks within a day's drive of each other. Ten days is enough to see them all without rushing.

## Getting there

Fly to Las Vegas or Salt Lake City and rent a car.

## Where to stay

Motels in the small towns near each park, booked a few weeks ahead.

## What I would do differently

I would carry twice the water I thought I needed.

Prices in this guide are what I paid. They move every season, so use them as a rough guide.
