The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate early and often
Carry 2–3 liters of water on hiking days and refill at hotels or ranger stations; desert dehydration sneaks up quickly.
Start hikes at dawn
Begin key hikes early to avoid midday heat and to enjoy the best light for views and photos.
Wear sturdy footwear
Choose boots with ankle support for steep, rocky sections and slick sandstone surfaces.
Respect tribal rules
Some sites like Monument Valley restrict commercial filming and drone use—check with your guide before photographing on tribal lands.
