Utah Mighty 5 Road Trip Map + 1 Week Itinerary

If you’re currently in the planning stages of your road trip to Utah, chances are one of the things you’re most excited to do is to visit all its national parks.

Zion offers many contrasts in scenery, ranging from white and red-toned cliffs,  peculiar-looking rock formations, hanging gardens, and verdant meadows.

Day 1: Drive to Zion National Park

This is a pretty challenging hike that can take around four hours to complete and will have you see some of the best landscapes the park has to offer.

DAY 2: ZION NATIONAL PARK

Home to the largest collection of hoodoos in the world, Bryce Canyon’s unique landscape is guaranteed to please even the fuzziest of travelers.

Day 3: Bryce Canyon

Capitol Reef offers landscapes like no other. You’ll find three distinct areas to explore: the Waterpocket Fold, the historic Fruita district, and Cathedral Valley.

DAY 4: CAPITOL REEF

Despite the huge amount of arches and rock formations it’s home to, Arches National Park is actually pretty small, which means you can easily see the highlights in just a day.

DAY 5: ARCHES NATIONAL PARK

Day six of your Mighty Five road trip will be all about settling into the park by exploring Island in the Sky, the most popular district in the park where the most iconic highlights are found.
