Heads Up
  • Day 7: 6h 2m driving — plan rest stops
  • Timed entry reservations are required for Arches National Park during peak season.
  • Carry at least one gallon of water per person per day; desert dehydration is a serious risk.
  • Check weather forecasts for flash flood warnings before entering any slot canyons or washes.
  • Download offline maps as cellular service is non-existent in large sections of the parks.
