Built for church and men's retreats: quiet places big enough to gather, hikes that work for mixed fitness, lodging that sleeps twenty, and food that feeds them.

All five Utah parks at a pace that works with small kids: short hikes with big payoffs, shade at midday, and where to find a real bed when the tent stops being fun.

Fourteen days, three crown-jewel parks, one route with minimal backtracking. The trip people plan for years, already planned.
