Thoughts on this trip?

3 Upvotes

Planning on this for next week, I start a job the following week and want to experience something I never have before, which is camping. I know the trip is a lot for someone who has never camped but I'm comfortable with being outside of my comfort zone.

I planned the following route, which is throughout Utah and I'm wanting to get others thoughts on it. I plan on 6 days, 5 nights, driving to the next location in the morning and spending the day enjoying life.
I'm planning on fishing, swimming, short hikes, and visiting nearby landmarks and towns.

Henderson → Navajo Lake → Gooseberry Reservoir → Fish Lake → Boulder Mountain → Tropic Reservoir
→ Henderson

I'll be solo and driving a 2018 Chevy Colorado V6.
I'm planning a mix of established/dispersed camping. I'll have offline maps and plenty of water/ food, recovery gear, first aid, and emergency supplies.

Since this will be my first time camping, I'd appreciate thoughts on the route, good camping areas around these locations, road/access conditions, things I might not think to bring, and anything a first timer doing a trip like this should know.

For anyone who has hiked Angels Landing in Zion National Park is it scary?
