Keep in mind that if you do want to camp in canyonlands you'd need permits to do so and now would be the time to apply, they tend to fill up very early.
I'd be down to do it in a day.
Yeah I've heard that...don't know if I am able to commit to an extra day until too late for reservations, I may have a passenger or two and their schedule is unknown yet. Might have to go for the long day trip instead. But that could change. Clear?
