We made the same trip a few years ago starting in TN. As long as you avoid Labor Day and are careful for Columbus day weekend you should be ok. We got stuck at a WM on Labor Day's Saturday night.
We travel early, hitting the road around 7 or so, and pull in early afternoons before most others start looking. Call a bit ahead to verify availability.
All bets are off when you hit touristy areas like The Grand Canyon. Personally I'd have reservations for those spots.
