Its hard to go wrong in southern Utah.

Personally I stay away from Zion and head to some of the lesser known areas.
My favorite area is Escalante Monument - head down hole in the rock road are
some great slot canyons (spooky gultch etc).

You can also hit the needles area in Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Dead Hores
State Park, Paria Canoyon.

I mostly backpack in these areas, but there are some great things down
there.
