Arizona/Utah to Yellowstone (1 Viewer)

[Orange&Blue]

We are going to Yellowstone area for a week in June leaving from Oklahoma. We've been there before going through Grand Teton and Badlands on separate occasions.

Wife mentioned going through Utah/Arizona (yes, she can read a map) and taking 4 days to get to Yellowstone.

That won't leave a lot of time obviously, but if you were to pick a route and stops what would it be?

TIA!!

Zion Nat’l Park and Bryce Canyon are close enough to each other (and each amazing) that they should warrant spots on the list.

Man, that’s a stretch to include AZ in a four-day road trip to Yellowstone...

You might consider:

Oklahoma to Durango, CO. Spend the night and the next morning…

Take the Million Dollar Highway to Ouray, Colorado.

Spend the night in Ouray. It’s a great little mountain town in a box canyon. Closes up early.

From Ouray travel to Moab, Utah. If you have an extra day, rent a jeep and check out the slickrock, or explore the hiking trails in Arches National Park.

From Moab, you are about 550 miles from Yellowstone.

Canyon de Chelley is asking that route and is worth seeing.
