Heads Up
  • Day 6: 5h 11m driving — plan rest stops
  • Timed-entry reservations are required for Arches National Park and Zion Canyon shuttles during peak season.
  • Highway 12 between Escalante and Torrey is steep and winding; allow extra time for photography.
  • Always carry extra water and check flash flood warnings before entering any slot canyons or washes.
