Heads Up
- 1. buy an America the Beautiful pass if you’ll enter several federal parks
- 2. reserve Antelope Canyon early
- 3. keep fuel above half a tank in Navajo Nation and southern Utah
- 4. carry more water than you think you need
- 5. sunrise/sunset stops are worth warm layers even in desert country
