Utah's five parks by car, Zion to Arches in seven days
Las Vegas to Salt Lake through Zion, Bryce, Escalante, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches: 1,050 miles of driving, six campgrounds, and a serious hike most days, from Angels Landing to Delicate Arch at dusk. Built around the Burr Trail, with the paved fallback over Boulder Mountain wired in for the day it rains on the Waterpocket Fold.

Permits & bookings
Agencies, costs and booking links carry across seasons; the application windows don’t, so they arrive blank and fill in the moment you give the plan dates.
The derived kit spec
8 lines, derived from the route rather than typed by hand. 2 read unknown until the plan has your dates — that is honest, not missing.
Divide is a planning platform, not a guide service — even when guides publish here. Conditions change, and the decision on the day is yours. Read the safety disclaimer.
