Planning a trip to Utah's National Parks

One of our favorite things to do is to plan out trips we could take that include stopping at multiple parks in the span of a week or two.  One of these trips we could possibly take is a trip to Utah.  Utah has Canyonlands, Arches, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon and of course, Zion.  Starting from the east and driving west there is about 11 hours of driving between the first and the last park.  We could possibly go to all the parks in Utah allowing plenty of time inside of two weeks.
Here is a great picture of Arches.  I would also love to go to Natural Bridges National Monument which is just south of Canyonlands NP.

Would anyone recommend doing this trip?  Is two weeks enough to see all the parks?  I can imagine that of all the parks we should save more time at Zion than any other.  What is the best time of year to visit these parks?  We would appreciate the input!
