Thanks 2Gypsies - and yes, will need to save for CA - LOL
Busskipper - WOW, clearly wasn't the number of stops i had but mileage that threw you guys off - lol. Lots of googling for me tonight. Don't think we will do that many stops, but try to base more from one place and see if we can catch lots of those via day trips (i.e Mesa Verde day trip from Durango, Escalate from Bryce, etc). Wife seems to like the idea of multiple nights better than constantly moving and wants to see some towns as well vs just NP's so balancing. We will see how we like it once we start i guess :)
I was trying to figure out how to add in Ouray as it looks awesome and can base from there for some of the areas you mention in CO. Ex - Colorado Springs - Ouray - Durango - then on with the trip i had listed but what i read about hwy550, not sure i want to drive it in the RV. Can't seem to find another way to put in Ouray without traveling 550 (who doesn't want to go to a place called the Switzerland of America).
Going to read through the route you had up through YNP and Glacier vs. my route and see if we make any changes....
