Just did exactly this trip last year, Ohio to Whitesands NM, up through grand canyon and Bryce/Zion and on to Tetons/Yellowstone and home via Black Hills and Badlands. 3 weeks, 5,200 miles and a lifetime of memories for my kids and my niece. We did it in a crewcab pickup towing an 18' travel trailer, no monster RV needed and nobody was overly wiped out other than the day we drove from the Petrified Forest to Kaibab National Forest, but that's because we spent all day out in the sun and then I had to drive through mountains in the dark.
