My friends and I are planning a 10 day Utah hiking trip in October and I am looking for everyones favorite hikes.

Our current "tentative" itinerary is to fly into Vegas  → drive to capital reef  → camp in capital reef  → Arches  → stay in Moab  → Canyonland  → camp in Canyonland  → stay in Page, AZ  → Bryce Canyon  → stay in either Cedar City, Duck Creek, Panguich, or Virgin  → Zion  → back to Vegas

Also if you have any suggestions on a different order of events or anything like that feel free to share !! We are looking to finalize lodging and everything by early next week so that we can do the fun stuff (working to pay for this trip lol)

Hello!
I'm planning a 10 day hiking trip to Utah with about 5 people in October.

So far we have landed on a route for the trip so I basically have a master spreadsheet that has all of the different spots we want to go to, the distance between them, the closest airbnbs & their prices per night, flight costs, camping costs, and car costs.

I know this is a big trip so it will come with a big cost - however I don't want to drop $1000 right out the gate ideally. How would you all recommend going about booking things?

We need flights, airbnbs/camping spots/hotels, and to rent a car.

I'm open to any and all hacks and one thing I was thinking of was opening a new credit card with 0%APR for x amount of months so that we can just book everything now and then pay it off as we need to lol (and hopefully get a sick cashback bonus)

I usually use Priceline for booking as well so if anyone has any recs on that please let me know!

i’m running a trail relay - 100 miles and 8 team members. (all the same loop) wondering if there is any sort of strategy in picking legs? i had everyone vote for what leg they’d like and the slowest & fastest person voted for the first leg. i’m not sure if i should have the slowest go so that the group spreads out for the speedy people or have the fast person go first and get a head start of sorts.

we know we will not be winning, just wondering if it matters either way
