I am in the early stages of planning a trip for the four of us out West next year and would like input from anyone who has made a similar trip. I have read the Grand Canyon thread and really appreciate all the good info in it.

We will be going in June and part of July due to school considerations. We are considering four to five weeks total for the trip and would like to drive to: Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, The Grand Tetons, Mt Rushmore, and probably Sedona for starters. We have already extensively visited CA, WA, and Oregon so were not initially considering those locations for this trip although there were many places we enjoyed.

I realize I will need to plan a route to accomplish this with as little back tracking as possible and hope to do that once we nail down the places we want to see.

We have camped for over a week in our Travel Trailer with no problem including winter camping with below freezing temperatures and hope this long of a trip will be possible also. The only think I know of now that I might need is a generator and I am researching them now, however I am sure there are other items that I have not even thought of. I would very much appreciate your input and suggestions on the following:

- Crowd considerations for that time of year
- Good campgrounds to use
- Trip considerations for what will be at least a 6K mile trip
- Suggested sites to see that are camping friendly
- Lessons learned on this type of trip that you are willing to share
- Any other suggestions including if this is a bad idea

Thank you for sharing your experiences.
