Which parks do I NEED to see?
We are leaving from Montreal and going mostly towards the west coast. East coast is easy to do on other years when I get less vacation time. We have 2 months to see as much as possible while enjoying...

Arches is the #1 must-see park, in my personal opinion. However, if this is a summer trip, it will be very hot there. Figure on walking some of the trails in early morning and just before dark, and resting in the RV at midday.
My second favorite is Yosemite. I spent a week there, and I only had reservations for 2 nights. The trick is to show up in the morning (Sunday through Thursday) at one of the no-reservations campgrounds. If you get to Yosemite, definitely do not miss Glacier Point.
If the kids would like to see some native ruins, Mesa Verde is one of several possible destinations.
Not all of the beauty is to be found in the parks. Driving from one to the next will reveal much great scenery, too.
