Almost every response you've gotten so far has pointed out that you're trying to do too much in too little time. This is another such response. When we tell you that you need to cut back that means that in our opinion you need to drive fewer miles and try to fit in fewer stops. It does NOT mean that you cut out one or two stops and then add several others thousands of miles away. What we are suggesting is that if you want to see the 'West' you MUST make A choice of which part of that vast area, far from your home, that you want to see. You cannot see the northern Rockies AND the Pacific northwest. You cannot see the northern Rockies AND the desert southwest. You can see ONE of those three areas. The sooner you make that choice, the sooner you can start making realistic plans for an enjoyable and memorable vacation, and the sooner we can start helping you make the best use of your time in that one area.
