Seattle to St. Louis road trip in early-mid April. Routes? Conditions? Destinations?
I am planning a road trip from Seattle to St. Louis in April and was hoping to take 10-12 days to check out some of the national parks and camp along the way but I am realizing this might be too early in the year to visit parks along this route. I know exact weather isn't known this far out but was hoping for some general guidance for my plans. I will be driving a 2014 Subaru Outback and have some questions for anyone that has traveled around here before:
1. What route would you recommend taking in case of snowy conditions and what passes should I be aware of that could be difficult driving?
2. What parks, forests, or monuments would you recommend I visit that are "roughly" along this route? I've visited the mighty 5 in Utah and parks in California. I haven't been to the states these routes cross through and am excited to explore more of the country. Where would be best to visit in April?
3. What gear would I need for driving this route? (Snow tires/chains/anything else?)
4. If I wanted to do a Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Devils Tower, Badlands route, would that be possible in late April or would you recommend later for the parks to be more open? (I saw that first roads open in Yellowstone April 18 and in Teton April 30)
Thank you so much for your help!
