Is that where the army finally released the CAMELS they experimented with in the 1800s?
Bryce and Zion are both on my Must See list. But NOT in the summer. This spring coming when there is still SNOW on the ground would be my next best opportunity. Days will be getting longer, too, which is good for 'scouting'.
Morning or late afternoon are my target times. Long shadows, the sun is not as harsh and you get good 'reds'. I've got some cables, a shovel and a couple bags of cat litter in the back of the 'Lament.

Zion is great in fall color; try early Oct, when the hordes are gone and the park is open to cars. Otherwise it's bus only.
Bryce is high country, lots of early snow. Sept is your best shot. The lodge closes shortly after Labor Day; you'll have to stay at Ruby's outside the gate, or camp.
Anywhere in UT from Sept or later, have emergency equip in your car. It's all very high; winter can drop on you anytime, and its a long way to nowhere regardless where you are. You'll die lonely if taking it lightly. If going off pavement, be sure you leave word with someone about where to and when back, even if the only person you tell is a motel clerk. At least he/she can alert the state police to go look for your sorry ass.
Have a microchip implant and wear a Breitling watch with personal beacons.
This is what most oil and gas companies do now to provide safety for their employees who are conducting business overseas.
