Roadtrip from MN to Grand Canyon to LV to CA to Seattle to Vancouver and back to MN.

Hello! I thought I would give this a try and see if we could get any kind of information and guidance on our HUGE roadtrip we are planning for early September of this year. We have some ideas about where we want to go and what we want to see, but we would love some input on what we may be missing and what we NEED to see. Our very early plan is this:

MN to Vail, CO - Leaving MN Thursday evening and arriving in Vail Friday mid-day. We want to see the city and visit a friend or two.
Vail, CO to Four Corners Monument - Leaving Vail Saturday morning and stopping to see the four corners monument and possibly staying at the Grand Canyon Sunday night. What part do we HAVE to see??
Grand Canyon to Las Vegas - Sunday morning and staying in Vegas until Wednesday mid-day.
Las Vegas to California - We definitely want to see the Sequoia trees and stay on the coast. We wouldn't mind driving up the coast to get to our next destination. We are open after this on our trip because neither of us has spent much time on the west coast. We were thinking of possibly driving up to Vancouver, since it is only 2 1/2 hours north of Seattle. We would love some input on some great spots to stop along the way or cities to spend the night and places to eat. Thank you so much for your input! We look forward to planning our trip in better detail in the future!
