In a nut shell, here is what I have:
Me, wife, 3 yo and 1 yo girls.
Trip Goal: Visit my brother in Fairfield Ca, stopping at cool places along the way.
Trip Timing: I think we can manage 2 weeks in September, the month is flexible, the duration is not.
Vehicle and provisions: 2012 F150, 4x4, coilover lift, and 35's. I will have 1 full size spare. I will have typical camping gear (springbar, turbo tent screenmachine, propane grille sleeping pads, playpen etc)
I will have limited recovery gear, so I think this will be more of a 'road' trip rather than overland, especially traveling with little ones and having so many things to do along the way.
We anticipate
Route so far:
Fort Worth to Grand Canyon
to Sequoia NF
to Yosimite
to Fairfield CA
to Bonneville Salt Flats
to Moab
to Telluride
to Santa Fe
Home
We plan to camp a little and also hotel it some times. We also think we are going to stop at some locations just for a few hours, some we may want to spend a day or two. I think three day total in Fairfield to visit my brother.
Can anyone tell me if the route is ok (see image)?
Are there any roads that are a must?
Any stops that are a must?
Any concern for weather in September?
