could you be more vague?
what do you like to do?
there are five national parks in Utah all of which are worthy of your time

Do a Utah tigerdroppings search.
Plenty of info. I started a thread last year and got plenty of info.

Convert to Mormonism and grab a few extra wives while you're there.

Utah is beautiful. Especially southern Utah where you’d probably go. Maybe the most beautiful state. Zion and Bryce deserve at least a couple days. Angel’s Landing is the obvious big hike out there, one of the most well-known in the USA, but it can be a bit sketch at the end, especially if you go after the morning and it’s crowded. I think you should probably look up videos of the last half mile before deciding you want to do it. Usually one or two people a year die on it, but as far as I know they’re usually self induced by people being idiots and not knowing what they’re doing out there.
Observation Point gives you better views than angel’s Landing IMO, although less iconic (one of the lookouts on Angel’s Landing is on the Welcome to Utah sign on the Nevada border). Also way less sketchy and crowded. It is a bit longer however. Emerald Pools is cool, family friendly so it’s the most crowded but it’s beautiful and easy. The Narrows is amazing but you have to spend around $30-40 for water gear and it might be flooding at that time. Check the park site if you go.
I definitely recommend Bryce at sunset. Just go to one of the lookouts facing west and enjoy.

We spent 4 days in Moab last summer. It’s a great place to stay while visiting Canyonlands NP and Arches NP, plus a state park whose name escapes me. Also, schedule a rafting trip. Overall, Moab has a really neat vib. You don’t want to miss it.

Outdoor parks, hiking and camping. A little city stuff.
My wife and myself- sorry for being vague earlier

As with any major NP out West during season... just be prepared for serious crowds at Zion and Arches (Bryce isn't quite as crowded).
One overlooked gem is just outside of St. George called Snow Canyon State Park. It's kind of like a miniature Zion. All of the mesas around the Hurricane/Virgin area are also pretty awesome for hiking and biking (need to be a fairly skilled mountain biker for the area, but that's why we go out there).
As others have said, Moab has a ton of activities that you can do.
