Fast, i'm guessing that you're traveling this summer.
therefore, reservations will be necessary for most of these "must-see" places, especially in California and the West Coast.
if you haven't made them already, you'll have some difficulty finding some available places.
Do you mean reservation for RV campgrounds or just to hike in the parks? I was planning to camp wherever I could and expected near and good spots to be already taken. I don't mind driving an extra 30 minutes to get to the park in the morning. If there are so many people just walking there that a reservation is needed maybe I want to visit something else.
you'll probably have to pay for a day parking pass, but no reservations needed to hike.
but depending on which "must see" place you want to go to, a 30 min. drive may not be a reality.
as someone said, Yosemite will be at least an hour or more drive to the Valley floor, from an campground outside the Park.
same thing for a coastal "must see" place. an available campground in the summer, with no rezzies, may be quite a ways away.
