In late winter and well into spring of 2016 or 2017, I am hoping to travel through the Southwest, hitting the big parks, and maybe the not so big places. It will primarily be a photography and seeing the sights kind of journey. Most likely with the travel trailer, and possibly with the pop top on the truck for occasional trips away from base. Here's the itinerary that I am thinking about, so if you have ideas on additional places, routes, great campsites (dry camp and hookup), museums, etc. feel free to make suggestions.
DVNP
Valley of Fire, Nevada
Mojave Preserve - Hole in the Wall
Joshua Tree NP
Anza Borrego SP
Organ Piple NM/P
Saguaro NP
Petrified Forest NP, with maybe a visit to Montezuma’s Castle NM
Chaco Canyon NP
Mesa Verde NP -> Canyon de Chelly NM -> Canyon of the Ancients -> Hovenweep
Cedar Mesa - Natural Bridges NM
Valley of the Gods
Monument Valley
Maybe back to Moab for some time in Arches and Canyonlands
Maybe to the St George area for Bryce and Zion
Maybe a trip to Page for Antelope Canyon and Vermillion Cliffs/Grand Staircase - Escalante area
My best guess is being out at least three months.
Thanks in advance
