We are planning a two week trip in Sept that will be our first longer trip in our new rig (FWC Granby).
Heading to Phoenix from Denver to visit a kid in college then heading north to Utah for a few days before circling around to Chaco Canyon.
We had planned on hitting Needles area of Canyonlands for four days of hiking and exploring. I've been to Needles District a few times but the GF has never been.
When I look at my maps of Utah, I keep focusing on the vast expanse that makes-up the Grand Staircase area. I've never been west of Lake Powell so really don't have any idea what the area holds and I've not found much info online (the BLM site sucks).
So, is the Grand Staircase worth skipping Needles or does the awesomeness of Canyonlands win out?
I welcome your feedback and recommendations.
