It is probably a 60 -90 minute drive from Zion to Bryce depending on how fast you drive. There is plenty to look at along the road, but it is basically a two-lane open road through the high desert.
By 9am its hot. Mid-June and you know that mid-afternoon will be Africa-Hot! If/when I return, I will spend more time at Bryce than I did this time. We basically spent a long day here. It was going to be a full moon there and the Park Service offers full moon tours on these nights. There is plenty of light to hike by on a full moon night. And, there is too much to see and do in a single day regardless of how long you are at the park. Don't be one of the 90%-ers that ride the park bus to the end of the canyon road, look around, and then leave. You need to take a hike into the canyon. Our hike started out as pretty popular with the crowd, but it was not long before the herd thinned itself out - too hot, too steep, too (fill in the blank) for the arm-chair americans.
