I shot with a Canon 7D and a 17-55 2.8 IS lens. While being professional gear, I don't consider myself a pro landscape photographer - I just show up and take the photo when I get there. Pros stick around for optimal lighting. I got lucky with these.

Primary cost is transportation and your personal route. I mapped out my primary route to about 4,800 miles, then added 3k knowing that I deviate and add other locations as I go. So I came within 500 miles of my estimate, not too bad. But I've done this 4 times now.
Transportation was about half the cost, around $1,000 dollars. Not counting gas, my cost was about $50 per day on average with 50/50 on camping/hotels. That includes eating out 1-2 times a day (good meals at local restaurants, not crap food (had the best $25 steak in Missoula Montana)). A couple souvenirs at each major park. And hotels here and there (I stay at decent ones, usually $60-$75 range).
That doesn't include gear (tent, sleeping bag, etc) that I have from past trips. Also doesn't include the car trouble (needed 2 new tires). Definitely have $300+ in budget for any potential car issues, I've had one this and my last road trip.
Obviously, the longer your trip (time wise), the more miles, and the more hotels you do - the more expensive it will be.
My California road trip last year was of equal time and distance, and the costs were the same.
