Day 1 - Drive straight down to Baker City or Ontario, Oregon
Day 2 - Shoshone Falls ending in Salt Lake City
Day 3 - Arches Park to Durango
Day 4 - San Juan National Forest to Alamogordo
Day 5 - White Sands Park to San Antonio
Anything I should be aware of, places I'm missing, things to note? This will be the longest road trip I've taken thus far, I plan on installing a dashcam before we head down just in case, but outside of that any thoughts?

Not sure if you have done Yellowstone/Grand Teton. If not, I'd strongly suggest taking the slightly longer route via WA20 (it's beautiful route to drive. You leave I5 after Burlington-->Spokane, WA-->Yellowstone/Grand Teton and back to I84 near Salt Lake City). Then Moab, Alburquerque and to San Antonio.
If Moab isn't your thing, I'd suggest visiting Colorado... basically the other side of San Juan National Forest (which sits on the Southwest from Denver)
As for tips, I suggest getting an Insta360 and just install it on the car. With a BT remote, you can activate whenever. My friend got some beautiful footages that he uses as b-rolls for his work and he kinda hardwired it to the trunk so it's always powered and everything. Dashcam for safety... sure. But for something like this, where you probably won't take the same trip again, I'd record it if I were you.
