My problem is timing. Originally I thought about a Sept start from my base in Boise ID. Hitting Great Basin in NV then Yosemite next. Then would follow with all the rest of the CA parks with some extra time in Southern CA.
That would take us till the end of Nov or so at a leisurely pace. Then even if we take our time across AZ to hit Carlsbad and the two parks in TX. We would be ready to head North in Jan or early Feb.
This is not going to work for the rest of the parks in CO and on northward.
I don't want to start in the spring with that plan because of the HOT summer weather in the Southern US.
We could leave in Aug. Do the Dakota states in the heat and head for CO to less heat (partially) then pick up the route again in NV and CA etc.
We would driving back to Idaho from Tx in Jan Feb but that is doable.
I would like to do it in 6-7 months.
What do you think?

Maybe this order ND,SD, CO, fill in stuff then NV, CA, NM AND TX
Fill time with other local stuff in the winter and then finish.
