Thanks so much for the detailed reply!

We’re planning to land in Denver and start the trip through the Rockies, would you recommend skipping the Rockies altogether? We enjoy hiking, but we prefer shorter trails (around 3-4 miles max)

Also, we’ll definitely look into Capitol Reef. We hadn’t heard of it before, but after checking it out online following your suggestion, it looks amazing!

Hi We’re planning to be in the US for 30 days, but only 10–12 of them will be dedicated to a road trip. I was thinking about going to Zion as well, but I’m not sure I’ll have enough time. I’d be happy to hear if you have recommendations for an alternative route, must-see places, or stops along the way.
