On your drive from St. George over to Moab consider going via Utah
Rte. 12 - particularly the section between Bryce and Capitol Reef.
It's one of America's great scenic drives and one of the better-kept
secrets in the state.
Amen to that; it's a real honey. Just keep your eyes open for free-range livestock on the Boulder Mountain stretch.

We've done Kodachrome State Park too but combined it with Bryce (stayed in Tropic).
Fave hotel in Torrey: Chuck Wagon Lodge (formerly Austin's Chuckwagon Motel before Randy Austin passed away).

Capitol Reef: the scenic drive should be open again by the time of your trip, and try easy hikes of Grand Wash, Capitol Gorge, and Sunset Point (at sunset, obviously!). As well, explore the Fruita Historic District + the boardwalk along the Petroglyph Panel. Hopefully in late fall they'll still be making/selling the famous little pies at Gifford House/Store made with fruit from the pioneer orchards. Yum.

En route to Moab from Torrey on 24, make a 'lil detour north of Hanksville (we've stayed in Hanksville) to Goblin Valley State Park for a wander, long or short, amongst the hoodoos. A weirdly wonderful place! Skip the ramble in the valley if there's been rain the day before or so; it would be a muddy mess.

Stans Burger Shak in Hanksville makes killer malts and shakes, and we had a dandy breakfast at Duck's Slickrock Grill.
Canyonlands: You'll be doing the Island in the Sky unit as it's closest to Moab. I'm sure you can manage any of the 4 trails on the parks "easy" hike list as they are generally more flat than not. There is a great viewpoint of Shafer Trail near the Visitor Center; makes for a terrific shot!

Do Dead Horse on your way to Canyonlands; I seem to remember that my best shots were taken there in the earlier morning. Do all or some of the 4 "easy" walks, including the overlook, for sure.

Arches:
Your easiest treks will be the 12 listed under "Short and Moderate Hikes" listed on the park's website.

I wouldn't bother with Balanced Rock; the drive-by is enough. Some trails don't have to be done in entirety, for instance you could do just the Courthouse Towers and Park Avenue Viewpoints without continuing on the trails. For sure, you will want to include the Delicate Arch lower viewpoint for a look at Utah's state icon. Note that some trails involve some walking in deep sand.
There is no food available at Canyonlands, Arches, Dead Horse or Capitol Reef (outside of some snacks at Gifford House/Store) so bring a cooler and plan to picnic; there are some good spots in the parks for lunch al fresco.
Moab: we've rented apartments, such as units at Purple Sage and Moab Flats for all of our stays; worth it for stays as long as yours or longer. Browse the many listings on booking.com, and I'll advise one IN TOWN, walking distance to restaurants, shops, etc versus further afield. Fave restaurants: Jailhouse Cafe (for breakfast); Moab Diner (good-food budget option); Moab Brewery; The Spoke on Center, to name a few. Gotta make a plug for Milt's Stop and Eat Drive-in; a Moab classic since 1954, and where we went when long days on the trails left us (and other of our ilk) too tired and filthy for civilized dining. HA! Good food; good prices; outdoor patio; take-out; what's not to like? :O)
