Your first day sounds very busy, with a lot of driving, and a real push to get to the resort before sundown. If you find you need to cut something, I would cut Valley of Fire, although it is wonderful, the time will be better spent at Zion and sundown is early at this time of the year. I would want to spend longer there and less time in the amangiri area, but I'm more into the parks than spas, but it does look beautiful.
Do be sure to stop at some of the wonderful overlooks on your way into Grand Canyon from the east. I would also exit that way and go south on 89 with a quick stop at Wupatki NP.
There are plenty of places to stay along the hwy on the way to Santa Fe, but none that I know of will be as nice as amangiri.
