packing a first aid kit, multi-tool, flashlight, and portable battery jumper. Other than the obvious basics, should that cover a month on the road?

Make sure to include southeast Utah. Probably my favourite part of your trip. Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Arches, Capitol Reef. Be sure to get a national park pass. Don't forget Joshua Tree NP in S Cal

maybe cut south from Moab, and then across to zion/grand canyon?

There are lots of secondary highways in that region. Don't be nervous about them, they are fairly well traveled. I always try to avoid interstates. You have a month which is lots of time to do that trip at a much slower pace.

Stay on 101 to Astoria, or even carry on right up to the Olympic Peninsula. That is a stretch of coast you don't want to miss. Through Washington, stay north of I90 and instead do Route 2 or 20. In Montana, head North to Glacier NP and take the Going to the Sun Road.

although skipping Eugene is a no-go. Visiting a friend there and also checking out the University.

Plus wine in the Willamette Valley

Also, most redwood forest areas won't look like that sadly, you'll usually park and walk to a forest of noticeably large trees. Also check out Yosemite national park, even if there for a day, find out when the valley tours go out, they'll tell you about the area and you'll see most sights expect for glacier point.

What are you planning to see on the Olympic Peninsula? When you're done definitely don't drive back south and around to Seattle, just take a ferry across the sound. It'll be worth it.

I live north of Denver and I would like to recommend visiting Boulder and Fort Collins. I think they are great little towns.

Boulder is great just because it's the small San Fran. It wants to be progressive but mostly it's just liberals stuck in their ways. Pearl Street Mall in Boulder is great. But that's not a secret.

If you lke hiking I recommend Red Rocks. If you go during the day you can hike it. The place itself is incredible. very beautiful.

Fort Collins has really great beer if that's your thing. Horsetooth Rock is a good hike. Old Town is pretty nice.

Also if you are driving I-70 through the mountains (you probably will) an afternoon in Glenwood is great. Really weird mountain town. The pools are cool too.

Also this guy >>1141335 if you are driving through east Utah there are a lot of cool places / scenic areas to visit. Moab and Zion imo

Have fun.
