Hi everybody - slowly getting Ruby (2014 Wrangler Rubicon JK) set up to where I want it to be (RTT, awning, steel rims/larger tires, etc.)
So, I am considering a road trip for 2018 - From W. IA via Badlands, Grand Teton/Yellowstone, Glacier, then
West through ID and WA (Mount Rainier) to the coast and down towards the CA border, spending about 1 week going down the coast, before heading back East via Crater Lake, NV, Zion, Canyonlands, Moab, then via CO back home.
The major goal for this trip is (as usual for me) making photographs around these locations for printing as landscape and fine art sales options. Obviously, the journey is part of the package, so I'll likely go mostly via non-Interstate routes to get there and back... I also don't plan on staying in hotels.
I have some spots I want to visit along the coast (cf. below,) but since I'm not that familiar with the area, I was wondering if I am missing anything that is must see along the way; or (even better) that is off the beaten path but worth a visit... Any other suggestions, tips, gotchas, etc. welcome. I am very familiar with the CO/UT/AZ/WY/MT areas, and have been offroading there for many years; OR, WA, etc. is newer territory for me.
I am prepared to be on the road for about 17-18 days right now; my maximum would be 25 days for this; being self-employed, I am somewhat flexible.
