List the parks/sights your wife wants to see and the folks here will give you plenty options. Yosemite, has plenty options outside the park if you have a toad or rental, which I think you will need. You will get much of the beauty of Yosemite from the car or short walks. Just don't go during the summer or lack of parking will drastically increase the walks. There is a bus system depending on how well you can get on and off a bus.
While Sequoia is beautiful, Kings Canyon is much more accessible and you don't give up much other than a bad drive on a winding road. you can camp no hookups in the middle of the sequoias in Grant's Grove which is a relatively easy drive on 180. You can also take the back route to General Sherman tree from Grant's Grove and Sherman has handicapped parking.
I can't speak as indepth to other parks because even though I have visited many of the Western Parks I wasn't local but others here can. Plenty threads on Yellowstone and options for staying in Yellowstone West with full-hookups.
Good luck!
