- Zion Canyon Scenic Drive usually requires the park shuttle in peak season; park in Springdale or at the visitor center and start early.
- Arches National Park often requires timed-entry reservations in spring through fall; check current National Park Service rules before booking the Moab days.
- Summer heat can be severe in southern Utah and Nevada; carry extra water, avoid midday exposed hikes, and finish long drives before evening.
- Check road and weather conditions before crossing Utah high-desert routes, especially around Capitol Reef, Highway 12, and I-70.
- Day 7: 7h 39m driving — plan rest stops
