wip -

If you maintain this itinerary, you will find yourself spending more
time in
your automobile going from one place to another rather than enjoying the
places/scenery.

You make that sound like a bad thing!

Please be advised that places out west are far apart and
while the roadways are good, for the most part there are no superhighways
leading to them. This - compared to most (if not all) European
countries -
is a very BIG country. For example - while you do not indicate where you
land, I presume that you will arriving at SFO. From SFO - after you get
your rental car - it will take you around 6 or 8 hours of non stop
driving
to get to Sequoia National Park. From Sequoia - Kings Canyon, it will
take
you something like 4-5 hours non stop to get to Yosemite National Park.
From Glacier Point in Yosemite to Mono Lake is around another 4 - 5 hour
drive non stop. From Mono Lake to Stovepipe Springs in Death Valley non
stop is something like 4 - 5 hours of driving.

And I would double check the automobile rental to make sure that you can
indeed have a one month rental contract. For the most part, 15 days
duration is more common.
