I think it depends a lot on what your plans are. I overnighted in Canyonlands NP in early fall. The high during the day was 100F and it does NOT cool off at night; all of that red rock just absorbs heat and then keeps it hot until probably 3-4am; it wasn’t great for camping. I plan on returning at some point and when I do it’ll be late fall.
If I wasn’t camping then it wouldn’t have been a big deal. There’s are also a few state and local parks that have similar geology, so don’t sleep on those!

With Arches NP right next door!
Visited both last fall and did the White Rim Trail, was amazing.

I could see Arches on a damp day not looking exceptional from the surrounding area, but on a sunny day it is beautiful.
