Re: Going to Utah NP's.

As has been said elsewhere, expect snow and slippery conditions on the trails. I've been there in June with snow still present.

Bryce sunrises can be amazing; most of the viewpoints catch the eastern sun hitting the canyon in the morning. The rim walk in the morning is a treat.

Of the lenses you mentioned, I'd take the 18-55. There's time you want more reach, and it's pretty compact. Or go light with the X100F. I prefer the 18-55 in this case because there are times you are going to want wider than the 23mm on the X100F.

Zion, if you go into any slot canyons, you'll want a wider lens as well.

Haven't been to Capitol Reef.

Cedar Breaks is really nice, but I imagine it will still be closed due to snow.

If you get the chance, stop by Red Canyon Park.  You drive through it on the way to Bryce, and it has some nice short hikes and gorgeous rock formations as well.  More intimate.

Personally, I'd take a 16mm, 23mm and a 70-300 :-), but you didn't put those on the list:-).
