Heads Up
  • Day 6: 5h 13m driving — plan rest stops
  • Advance vehicle reservations are required for Arches National Park entry during peak season.
  • Hydration is critical; carry at least one gallon of water per person when hiking in the high desert.
  • Check NPS.gov for flash flood warnings before entering any slot canyons or washes.
  • Fuel up in major towns as services are sparse on Scenic Byway 12 and near Capitol Reef.
