Utah looks like nowhere else on earth. There are 5 national parks! And everyone is different.

Zion is very beautiful. It's the bottom of the canyon, so a different perspective than you'd get from the Grand Canyon. The lodge is pretty, rocking chairs on the porch.

Fruita (near Capital Reef Park) is a ghost town-- or at least, it has all these old buildings from the original town. It's nestled against a river, a very nice walk.

It should still be warm in Sept. We were there in October, and a blizzard blew in! Then 40 miles north, it was 50 degrees and sunny.

If you have a car, you could probably hit several of the national parks. Don't miss Zion-- it's so lovely. Arches is AMAZING... but in an otherworldly way.
They're all so different.
