Planning 9-day Utah Mighty Five Road Trip! Please help sanity check and accommodations recs (solo female)
Hi folks! I'm planning to do a 9 days (flexible) solo roadtrip to hit the Utah Mighty Five (minus Zion since I've already been) + the Grand Canyon. Here's a rough itinerary I have right now - does it seem reasonable? Any suggestions on cutting days or adding days?
Would also love to get some recs/suggestions on places to stay that could help cut down some costs. Looks like lodging is going to be the biggest money suck right now if I stick with hotels (~ 1k +). Thanks so much for yall's help in advance!!!!
