We did a 7 week trip out west from Illinois to Seattle, jumped on a cruise to Alaska, then came back a different route.
I can't begin to list all the places you should try to see. Yosemite was unbelievable, Yellowstone was great, but 2 or 3 days would be plenty there IMHO. Don't forget to spend a day in Jackson Hole.
I don't take much emergency equipment, just some general tools. I know my fivers weight and run the correct rated tires. I utilize a TPMS so I always know the exact air pressure and temperature in each tire while running down the road. We probably passed 5 or 6 TT's or fivers pulled over with blown tires on that trip out west, and some with significant damage. Some of the roads you will be on don't have shoulders or room to pull over even if you realize you have a flat. The key is not to have an issue with your tires or any equipment in the first place.
