Heads Up

Get an America the Beautiful pass if you do not already have one; it usually makes sense for all five national parks.

Download offline maps because service drops hard between parks.

Carry more water than normal, especially for Arches and Canyonlands.

Book Springdale, Bryce/Tropic, Torrey, and Moab stays early.
