Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, greatly appreciated. I am taking a look at the mountain guides, I think I will buy them. The bank account, CC's, etc. will take some research and planning probably can only get them once in the US, but I need to look in to that. Critters are not a major concern, but my kids like to pick up all critters so they need to know what to leave alone! We hope to get off the interstates as much as possible and to see the country, may find we drive one day and stay for 2 days, then repeat until we get to a chosen location to stay a week or two and day trip from there.
As to the Canadian Rockies, I spent 2 months living in Jasper Alberta and it was awesome, we have planned a month for BC and Alberta, hopefully most of that will be in the mountains.
There is so much to think about for planning a trip like this and we are new to this, but we are being pretty realistic I think and are fully aware our plans will likely change as we go and that is part of the excitement too. This week we have made a few route options based on some variables we are working around and the final route for the very start of trip won't be decided until we are almost ready to hitch up. All depends on my father's recovery from surgery tomorrow and if my parents will make it to Florida in time for us to visit them.
I have not found anything about a "safe-passage pass" since GreyMountain mentioned it, is this something I need to be concerned with? Nothing comes up with any of the searches I have done so I was not sure if I was having my leg pulled or not!
Thanks again everyone for the advice, this seems like a great community and I look forward to being apart of it in the flesh very soon!
