I've said Monument Valley, but I'll probably go over to Valley of the Gods instead. From what I've read, it's much like Monument Valley, only smaller.
I had originally planned to go to Zion before heading to Salt Lake City.
However, I looked at the some campgrounds, and they were all full, except for two days at the private CG just outside Zion's entrance. Those two days corresponded to the days were planning on being there. However, they required full payment up front, and even if we cancelled, they keep all the money. That wasn't an option.
That's also why I've though about just going down the the North Rim where it's cooler.
When I get into NM, I'll be able to tell if the heat will be unbearable. If it is, we'll just head to the North Rim.
We plan on stopping at Salt Lake City for a day or two in order to catch our breath, and to do clothes at the campground laundry. By that time, we'll be getting low on clean clothes.
We did that on our epic cross country trip in 2014. Every once in a while, we'd stop in order to catch our breath.

Lots to see between Monument Valley and Craters of the moon. Zion, Bryce, just to name couple, Moab, canyonland etc.
Happy Camping
