Do so...then drop them all off at orphan agencies out West, marry a stripper in Vegas on your way back, and you go engineer your best life...

I’m in the infancy of planning and welcome to suggestions. I want to go to Jackson Hole and dip into Yellowstone. But I also would enjoy a Grand Canyon/desert style circuit.

How old are the kids? Carve out some easy hikes or cool/advanced hikes depending on what you think they can handle.

depends on the age of the kids and how long you have for the trip.....may want to be careful that you don't spend all your time driving....
when our kids were in middle school we took a 2 week trip in our travel trailer:

first stop...Branson Missouri to Silver Dollar City.....our season passes to Dollywood were honored there since they are owned by the same company.

next was Dodge City as the halfway point to our main destination....this was an unexpectedly great place to stopover....we got lucky and was able to go to a professional rodeo....had a blast

next was Rocky Mountain National Park...lot of hiking and sightseeing

Then came Colorado Springs....Cog railway to the top of Pikes Peak, Flying W Ranch, Air Force Academy

Back across the country to St. Louis....Tourist things....the arch...really enjoyed Jefferson Memorial....Grants Farm

then back home.....the lesson learned for us was that we didn't make nearly as good time driving as we assumed during the planning stage....a third of the time was spent driving

I feel like you could drive like a dumbass through AZ, UT, WY, MT, ID, CO, NV, WA, OR, CA and still hit 100 awesome spots

I’d accept a cook and/or babysitter.

I can grill and cook Mac and cheese

just canceled netflix. $19 a month!? is ridiculous. the content is increasingly monotonous and geared toward females.

It all depends on the 4 kids out west. Do you have 4 in mind or just planning to pick up some random kids once you get out there?

and the Yellowstone thing....To see the maximum wildlife, go in May if possible and allow at least 4 days to see it all

I can't. We enjoyed our first one last summer (w/o kids, just a dog) so much we're going again this year. But this time we're also going into Canada to visit Jasper and Banff National Parks.
