Heads Up
  • Purchase an 'America the Beautiful' National Parks pass to cover entrance fees for all five parks.
  • Secure Arches National Park timed-entry reservations online well in advance of your visit.
  • Monitor weather forecasts for flash flood risks, particularly when hiking in Zion or Capitol Reef canyons.
  • The drive from Bryce to Torrey follows Scenic Byway 12; allow extra time for numerous overlooks.
