Thanks for the replies can anyone suggest good maps or books we could buy or perhaps download I have filled in visitor info for the tourist boards in colorado etc but they don't send them internationaly .....also do we need a national parks pass or would we just pay at the entrance to these parks ? although we have been to the USA many times its always been Orlando so I'm a bit nervous of just driving off into the wilderness lol !
I used mapquest for planning our trip to this area. Mapquest will allow you to save maps. You can plot point A to B to C etc. You can send the maps to your email address. I also have a Garmin GPS with Base Camp software. Not sure if you can purchase a Garmin GPS with North America maps where you live but may be worth while. If you have a Garmin you can download BaseCamp software for free. I used the internet exclusively for planning our trips. Forums like this are extremely helpful. Grand Canyon, Sedona, Monument Valley, Pikes Peak, Royal Gorge, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park are all amazing.
Depending on the number of National Parks you plan to visit an annual pass may be worthwhile. It may save you some time as you just show your pass when entering the parks.
