You can spend less time or more time on your trip based on your needs. This itinerary has over 90 plus stops including places to hike, sights you can't miss, the best places to stay, the best places to eat, great photo stops, and much more.

This is your one-stop shop to be fully prepared to make this the trip of your dreams.  If you follow this guide I promise you this will be a trip of a lifetime and you will see some amazing experiences.

Key Information

When to Visit

I believe the best time to go is in Spring or Fall. You certainly can go during summer and winter. Here are some of the benefits of each season

Winter- It's colder and allows for you to explore almost all day. Just have to be mindful of snow and ice that can occur in the higher elevations and at night.

Spring- My favorite time to go. Weather is perfect and the sun starts to come out for longer periods of time so you have more time to explore. Prices are lower as it isnt the summer rush so thats another plus! April/May is my favorite time

Summer- Everything is open and at full capacity. Longest days of the year so lots of time to explore. It does get cooler at night when the sun starts to go down. Toughest part is mid day though when it can be extremely hot and dry
