Druid Arch next Sunday

I‘ll be arriving in Moab on Saturday (tomorrow) afternoon. Thinking of heading to the Needles District on Sunday early morning to do the Druid Arch trail. While I‘ll be staying a whole 8 days in Moab, Sunday seems to be the best choice temperature-wise. It‘ll still become very hot, I know.

So, my idea is to leave my motel at 4am, hoping to be at Elephant Hill TH by 6am.

Good idea? Or should I focus on less enthusiastic hikes instead?

I'm going to Capitol Reef on May 18th. I'll be staying in Torrey for 5 nights, thus giving me 4 full days for hikes and such. I'm a little worried that I may eventually want to spend more than 4 full days in Capitol Reef.

I'll be in Moab before Capitol Reef. 10 nights. 7 days for Canyonlands, 2 days for Arches. I could still cut a day from Moab to extend my 4 days in Capitol Reef.

I posted my itinerary here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Canyonlands/comments/1sva9cq/7_days_too_much/

I'll be going to Canyonlands on May 8th. Will be staying in Moab for a total of 10 nights. Apart from Canyonlands, I'm planning 2 days in Arches NP, leaving me with 7 days for Canyonlands. Since I'll only have a SUV car, I won't be going to the Maze District. Only Island in the Sky and Needles. 7 days still sounds a lot of time, and I was wondering if I should rather cut down by 1 day and use the extra day for extending my 4 days in Capitol Reef afterwards.

This is my current itinerary for May:

    1. grand canyon -> moab (330mi / 5:45h)
