I think it would be a shame not to at least reference this previous thread EXPLAINING how to adjust INFINITY STOPS.

If you are shooting landscape then you might find it useful to employ forward tilt to gain extra depth of field.
You get this by dropping the bed (with the rack wound right back into the camera).
Then you use the front rise so the centre of the lens is back at the same point.
Whatever you want to do with the camera you probably are never going to run out of coverage with that lens.

Stop and smell the roses.

If you have never been in any of our great western National Parks, each one deserves at least a week to ten days, some back-country hiking and a return trip in about five years.

Do you have any geological training? It helps to know what you are photographing.

My favorite entrance to Yellowstone is from Redlodge, MT. You could spend a week photographing on and off that road.

Take some warm clothing. You can't really see the parks unless you camp inside them.

At this time of the year the weather may be against you if you are looking for those "postcard" photos. I have been in Yellowstone in June and had it snow.

Glacier is terrific. Hike up the Going To The Sun Highway before they open it. If you are lucky(The park rangers will help you.), you will catch them opening the road at Logan Pass. If you go to the Canadian side of Waterson-Glacier International Peace Park(recommended) you will need your driver's license(photo ID) and birth certificate(passport preferred) to get back into the good old USA.

The American West is huge and takes a lifetime to attempt to see and understand it.

Enjoy and have a good trip.
