- Timed entry reservations are required for Arches National Park and highly recommended for Zion's Angels Landing hike.
- Carry at least one gallon of water per person per day; desert dehydration is a serious risk even in cooler months.
- Flash floods are a danger in slot canyons; always check the weather forecast at visitor centers before entering washes.
- Download offline maps as cellular service is non-existent in large sections of Capitol Reef and Canyonlands.
