That's a very ambitious itinerary! It's a LONG way from the Arches area to Grand Teton/Yellowstone, then another big drive to Rapid City, and then a heck of a drive back to Denver.We were thinking about a cross country drive this September from Pittsburgh, but I could only get 20 days off from work. So we decided to fly into Vegas. Some of the things on our itinerary are, the Hoover Dam, Bryce Canyon, Horseshoe Bend/Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, 4 Corners, Arches, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, family in Denver, Focus on the Family(Colorado Springs), family in NM, Carlsbad Caverns, Tombstone, family in AZ, Corona del Mar, Huntington Beach and we'll cap it off with 4 full days at DL Resort. I think we'll log well over 4,000 miles.
At Antelope Canyon, be sure to do LOWER Antelope Canyon (upper is just an okay boat ride). If you want to know what it looks like, look at my avatar...and that's a simple cell phone picture! We used Ken's Tours and they were excellent. You probably already know, but Antelope (both upper and lower), Monument Valley, and Four Corners are all Navajo Tribal Parks and not part of the national park system. I believe each were $8 per person last summer.
Have a great trip!
