Hey guys. This summer I am going on a month-long road trip and visiting 15 national parks. We will be seeing much of the western half of the US including the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, Mt. Rainier, etc. I have a basic Nikon D40 with the 18-55 kit lens, along with a 55-200 lens that also came with it. I also have a monopod and basic camera bag that holds both lenses and camera.
I am wondering what kind of other gear you guys think I will need to get some great shots on this trip. I was thinking about a tripod, but that may get heavy on longer hikes. Also thought about a fanny pack to be able to easily carry and switch out lenses. Are there any lenses that are a must for getting good pics of nature, landscapes and possibly animals we see on our trip?
Any other comments or questions are welcome! If any of you guys have done a trip like this and have tips or info that would be great. Thanks a ton.
