American West Travel Itinerary - Trip Planner: Full Description

Each Travel Itinerary - Trip Planner Package contains:

• Preparations. Based on time-of-year, location, type of vehicle, etc. Recommended clothing and gear based on the season, vehicles preparations, park passes, and more.
  
  
• Planning your schedule. The write-up doesn't hold you to a fixed, rigid schedule. Rather, we specify how long you might typically spend at each stop on the trip, based on travel times and attractions. We might add recommendations on what is a "can't-miss" and what might be skipped. We also do include a sample day by day schedule.
  
  
• Trip Narrative. The narrative discusses in detail the various destinations on your route and the various activities available at each one. You will generally find more activities described than time actually allows. This allows you to pick out the things that seem most interesting and exciting to you.
  
  
• Recommended Reservations. Where needed for accommodations (lodging or camping), tours, or other special activities. Includes links for online reservations as needed.
  
  
• Accommodations (lodging or campgrounds). The write-up makes specific recommendations, based on your requests, for various cities, towns, parks, and other destinations along your route. Additional links may be included (such as Chamber of Commerce websites) for popular destinations to give you more choices. Special accommodations such as bed and breakfasts will be included at your request.
  
  
• Travel Directions - Your Travel Route. The specific recommended route for your road trip. Includes for each leg: route numbers, type of road, distances in miles, estimated driving time, and pertinent comments.
