5 days in the Escalante or Roost Area... any suggestions
Myself and two others are heading to south central/east Utah and wondering about which spot to explore. We would preferably like to find a beautiful spot for basecamp (car camping) and explore really great canyons by day. We don't want to do too much car travel once there but not afraid of long hikes in or out. With only four or five days, I'd like to find a perfect match between great vista's and beautiful slot canyons.
As far as technical skills go, I'm comfortable with natural anchors and have a lot of multi-pitch climbing experience but new to canyoneering. We're not looking for anything epic, just good clean exploration.
Current thoughts for places to go are Hole in the Rock road (and other near by GSENM spots) and Robber's Roost/North Wash region.
Any ideas and suggestions are more than welcome,

"the usual suspects" in the Roost include: Larry, Alcatraz, Not Mindbender, White Roost, BlueJohn... Can drop down to North Wash for Leprechaun, Shenanny, Foolin' Around... I would expect at least one short swim in all of these.
