Hi everyone,

In Sept of this year I am planning on touring the western states. Either beginning in Arizona or Washington state. I know I want to go through Utah, Wyoming and Montana, but I am clueless as to where to start with the planning.

I've planned many trips before, even a month in Australia, but this is much different.

I plan on hitting many of the National parks, but can anyone advise me on just where to begin. How to plan out a route, etc. How to budget, best car rental agencies (I've been told Hertz does not have a drop fee.)

Pretty much info on anything and everything!


Any help is appreciated!!!!
