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.
See if your adventure can include Canyon de Chelly - Images - I'd also try for a little Aspen Leaf Peeping into Colorado in late September - Leaves - Both would be rewarding :)
Reservation are needed at the Grand Canyon.
Along the way you should be fine just getting them a few hours before you arrive. https://www.allstays.com/Campgrounds/
Best of Luck,
Canyon de Chelly is pretty life-changing. I highly recommend it if you can fit it into your schedule.
Note that it's tribally run and it's on tribal land. Make sure and respect their local laws and traditions. Also make sure to watch the clock carefully: we have been tripped up by Daylight Saving time before. I forget whether they are or aren't on Daylight Saving, but it seems like it's always the opposite of what we expect.
If possible, budget two nights there so that you can have an entire day for the canyon jeep trip without having to worry about traveling that day.
