Wooh, quite a schedule. I can't comment on the weather or flowers at that
time (different elevations dictate different spring times), but I recommend
buying a National Parks Pass (about $50.00 USD). Talk to the folks at the
first NP you stop at, and see what you qualify for. IE: over 62? Think
about a Golden Age pass for $10.00 USD. What ever you do, please get a good
road map, consider a slow schedule, and see what you can. Your list is
quite large, and late snow may block some pass roads. Two weeks to see it
all will only get you to see most of the 'highlights' of the areas, and not
the real wilderness experience you are perhaps seeking. Bring plenty of
mosquito repellent (the best is with DEET in it), and lots of film or
digital cards. Relax and enjoy. What you miss will be there for a later
visit.
