Since this is your first time hiking in Southern Utah, you may want to hit some of the better traveled places. I think a 10 year-old would get a thrill out of:
(1) Zion National Park -Angel's Landing -The Narrows, from the TOP to the BOTTOM, not the other way. It is a 13 mile hike, but not strenuous. You're in the water for about 9-10 miles of the hike. After seeing Zion canyon from the bottom, I found it amazing to see the Virgin river from the top, where it is just a creek among meadows, and then to follow it down as it carves its way through the red rock, the walls gradually getting higher and higher. -The Subway -- an incredibly fun hike; swimming, jumping, ducking, climbing, etc. It has it all. (2) Bryce -For sheer beauty, this one's hard to beat. A few nice hikes in the canyon too. |

It should be noted, Quis, that Calf Creek is best visited in the spring or better, the fall. The temperatures are better those times of year and in the fall, the water in the creek is warm. The summer, IMO, is too freakin' hot. In fact, Southern Utah in the summer heat is stifling. |

Yes, Calf Creek is better during the spring or fall. |

The Subway is the best hike in Utah, IMO. It's fabulous. |
There are some gorgeous hikes in Arches too. There are rules about where you can camp, but Arches really works well for having a base camp and then going out on various day hikes.

Thanks for all the help
All the suggestions were great. I now have several good starting points.
