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