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