Heads Up
- 1. June is hot and exposed in Utah canyon country; start hikes early, carry more water than usual, and avoid strenuous midday hiking.
- 2. Arches National Park often uses timed-entry reservations in peak season; check current National Park Service requirements before driving in.
- 3. Zion Canyon Scenic Drive usually requires the park shuttle for most visitors in peak months; plan parking and shuttle timing early.
- 4. Verify road, weather, flash-flood, and trail conditions daily, especially for canyon hikes, unpaved scenic roads, and high-elevation sections near Bryce Canyon.
- 5. Day 6: 6h 26m driving — plan rest stops
