Heads Up
- 1. Timed-entry reservations are required for Arches National Park during peak season; book months in advance.
- 2. Carry at least one gallon of water per person per day and monitor weather for flash flood risks in canyons.
- 3. Check NPS.gov for current trail closures and shuttle schedules in Zion and Bryce Canyon.
- 4. Fuel up in major towns as services are extremely limited between Capitol Reef and Moab.
- 5. Day 6: 5h 11m driving — plan rest stops
