Utah Mighty 5 Loop
A 7-day driving loop from Las Vegas through Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches — slow enough to actually enjoy the red rock instead of just collecting park signs.

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