We're going to be taking a nice long trip in October to places that we've never been before, and I would appreciate any advice on parks and routing. I've already mapped the trip out and selected the places to stay, but it's hard to judge a park by reading all the BS on their websites. First hand experience from someone who has been there is always helpful.
Here's where we're headed: From our home in the Houston, TX area to the balloon festival in Albuquerque, NM, then on to Sedona, AZ, Las Vegas, NV, The 5 Parks in Utah (Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches and Canyonland), Salt Lake City, UT, Twin Falls, ID, and then homeward bound.
I'm pretty sure my routing is OK as far as tunnels, steep grades, switchbacks, etc., but having another pair of eyes on it would be helpful. Here's the route:

Any advise would be appreciated.
