Heads Up
  • Day 6: 5h 38m driving — plan rest stops
  • National Park timed-entry reservations are required for Arches and highly recommended for Zion shuttles during peak months.
  • Scenic Byway 12 involves steep grades and sharp curves; ensure your vehicle is in good condition before the drive.
  • Flash floods are a serious risk in slot canyons; always check weather forecasts at visitor centers before hiking.
