Who's planning for 2014 vacations?
Just booked our first camping trip for April 2014. We're going to stay at the Jellystone in Cosby in the Smoky Mountains. Kids have never been there and we're all really looking forward to it. Thi...

Good morning and Happy New Year!
You really have a lot crammed in but it is well planned. I have not looked at your thread at this point.
Have been to virtually all the places you mention and some several times.
I know you have made some reservations but am sure they can be juggled at this point.
I got delayed in sending this and Veebyes made a comment I would agree with. Not sure what the heck you do at Zion for all that time unless you are serious hikers. You ride a bus up to the the end of the canyon and back and get one sore neck.....you are down, looking up. The drive in / out from the east is the most beautiful.
And 297 miles and then see Natural Bridges (ho hum), Canyonlands and Arches with only two full days? Skip Natural Bridges. And figure out how to get Monument Valley in there. Arches and Canyonlands (Island in the Sky - north end) will take at least a full day each just to drive them and not hardly stop!)
Vermillion Cliffs - IMHO - can be skipped and time spent far better elsewhere.
What are you going to do in Ouray for 4 nights? One day to drive Red Mountain Pass / Million Dollar Hwy / Hwy 550 (unless you drive there from Durango - I generally do not recommend doing that with an RV unless you are experienced mountain driver).
Just some thoughts.
