Heads Up
- 1. Advanced vehicle reservations are required for Arches National Park and Zion Canyon shuttles during peak season.
- 2. Carry at least one gallon of water per person per day; desert dehydration occurs rapidly even in cooler months.
- 3. Check weather forecasts for flash flood warnings before entering any slot canyons or washes.
- 4. Download offline maps as cellular service is non-existent in large sections of the national parks.
- 5. Day 9: Dead Horse Point State Park → Salt Lake City International Airport flight transit only 3.0h — allow ≥5h door-to-door
