Seeking advice from experienced travelers.
I am taking a 2-3 month break from work to embark on a solo full time overland trip of national parks starting 10/1/21. I plan to head from MA straight to Yellowstone before they close roads mid october. From there, I was planning to head south to CO and UT. I looked at the Continental Divide Trail and the UT BDR. Both look amazing. I have a 2017 Land Cruiser equipped for stealth camping with sleeping platform in the back, water system, portable power, compressor, fridge,...
My concern is weather conditions and I am interested to hear from folks who have traveled these roads/trails in October/November. I am not an experienced off roaders and would only take easy to medium trails.
1. How much of these roads/trails are passable?
2. Will I freeze my ass sleeping in my car?
3. What parks would you recommend for or against to visit in late October/November? Which ones are definitely not accessible during that time?
4. Anything else you think I should know or prepare for before heading out?
Thank you
