Thoughts / Advice on 32 day Roadtrip
Thoughts on our 32 day itinerary. Just some things to note. We are traveling with a 10 month old so if some of the travel days or hikes seem short, that is why. We also have done the mighty 5 in Utah as well as Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Rocky Mountain NPs which explains why we are skipping those. We also spent 8 days in the Black Hills 2 years ago. We absolutely loved it so we are going back but don't feel the need to do everything again.
Am I missing anything I should be seeing or doing anything that is worth skipping?
