Reservations-KY to Grand Canyon on route 40
Be traveling mid September to mid October. Do you believe we will need reservations along the way and at the Grand Canyon. Willing to stay in public or private parks.

You don't need reservations as you travel especially if you pull in before 3pm. Rest; have a leisurely dinner.
For Grand Canyon I'd highly recommend you try to stay in the park itself... as is the case for all national parks. It will give you the best experience. Also, don't try to get a base camp in the West and try to do multiple national parks. It's a waste of time. You won't really 'see' a national park in a couple hours and then you'll have hour times traveling back and forth. I would guess you wouldn't return and do the same the next day.

Each national park has a web site like this with lots of good information on things to do, road conditions; closures, etc.
