Heads Up
- 1. June can be very hot in canyon country; start hikes early, carry extra water, and keep midday plans flexible.
- 2. Check current national park timed-entry, shuttle, and parking rules for Zion, Arches, and any popular trailheads before driving.
- 3. Utah scenic roads can have sudden construction, flash-flood closures, or winter-damage repairs; verify UT-12, UT-24, and park road conditions before each transfer.
- 4. For this 7-day loop, skip far southeast detours such as Forrest Gump Point or Monument Valley unless adding an extra overnight.
- 5. Day 7: 6h 31m driving — plan rest stops
