Heads Up
  • Day 7: 7h 30m drive driving — plan rest stops
  • The America the Beautiful pass is usually the smart buy for all five national parks.
  • Book Springdale/Bryce/Moab lodging early, especially spring and fall.
  • Carry a refillable water setup, sunscreen, and a warm layer because this route swings from hot desert to high plateau fast.
