That's cool, the best of the west!
If you start soon don't forget heater, can be pretty cold at night.
I almost always camp at primitive camps and if you start searching for one
during daylight
you have a good chance to find good spot. Last year me and friend found
great nice wild
and free camping very close to Zion park entrance, just before seeing all
the fancy houses
on both sides of the road. Also camped in small "parks" in the middle of
little towns when
darkness fell. Only private campgrounds attract giant RVs and trailers but
at this time of the year
they are sitting way south like Yuma, lower Colorado river, Salton Sea etc.
