Looking for some itinerary tips for a very brief trip to NV/AZ/UT - looking at an abridged version of the grand circle ideally with some time to get a couple of long hikes and some climbing in - any beta on what to see / skip would be much appreciated!

Edit: starting and ending in Vegas & trip will be in early March

What’s your roadtrip car?

Currently on day 5 of the roadtrip and it’s leg me to Chicago! So of course ima go see the bean and millennium park but I wanted to know anything else I should do or see!

Hello! We are looking to do a road trip from Toronto and thinking to do 6/7 days in US. We have done holiday season in NYC and absolutely loved it. Looking for another option this time. So far we are thinking Chicago but reluctant due to weather and would love somewhere warmer. Are there any other places that would be worth it, either instead of Chicago with more of a drive with stops along the way? We have a kid so fun things to do with kids and adults both are important.

Here is a list of things we want from this trip:

Walkable city, with the holiday vibe, Christmas markets, Good food, Some fun activities for the kid, Ideally better weather than Toronto but understand it might be too much to ask! Lol.

Also any insight on Chicago road trip during December? I know weather can be unpredictable but whays typical for that time of the year? Any stops along the way that may be worth a night there?

Thank you

Thank you!

I’ve saved almost $10,000 for 9 days next year 😭 that’s probably insanely overboard but I just wanted to have as much as I can.

Since childhood, I have longed to travel across the United States by car to visit various places. When my family bought our first SUV in 2007 (a 2008 Toyota Highlander Gas Limited 4WD), this vehicle further sparked my idea of using this vehicle to see America. Thus, my family handed over the SUV to me when I started undergrad in a 4 years university.

As an Asian American guy, I have lived in California for many years. In 2018, when I was accepted to a graduate program in upstate New York, I took the opportunity to prepare my SUV, drive across the country, and then settle at my graduate school. Due to time constraints, I didn't get to visit any points of interest during the drive, but my time at graduate school sparked my grand idea of a long road trip immediately after graduation in 2020.

The original idea was to travel from upstate New York to Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Walt Disney World Resort, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and finally back to California. With a total travel time of around six weeks.

The original plan was financially secured and booked in 2019 until the COVID pandemic forced everything to be locked down. Thus, it indefinitely derailed my dream road trip for the foreseeable future.

For the next few years, I never let this plan go. But interestingly, I gradually added hundreds of more places to visit into the plan, thus massively expanding the plan to cover the following:

-Start and Finish in Los Angeles, California

-48 contiguous states in the United States 🇺🇸

-10 provinces in Canada 🇨🇦

-Saint Pierre and Miquelon, French Territory 🇫🇷

-4 states in Mexico 🇲🇽 (Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, & Tamaulipas)

-Take 8~9 months to complete (October 2027 ~ June 2028)

-Including Walt Disney World Resort

-Almost including all National Parks across the United States

-Taking flights from Miami (Temporarily storing my vehicle in Miami) to Nassau, Bahamas 🇧🇸 and Havana, Cuba 🇨🇺

-Total cost: ~$100,000

These are the questions that I need answers from

1. Do you all think this trip will be possible?
2. How must I keep myself safe during this type of road trip as an Asian American?
3. Is this road trip more financially and logistically practical when traveling with a future girlfriend?

Hi all

I'm roadtripping from Vegas to Santa Fe this winter (have about 2 weeks) and I'm trying to decide which route to take.

Option 1: Vegas-->Zion-->Bryce-->Scenic Byway 12-->Capitol Reef-->Monument Valley-->Abiquiu-->Santa Fe

Option 2: Vegas-->Zion-->Bryce-->Kanab-->Page (detour to Grand Canyon?)-->Monument Valley-->Abiquiu-->Santa Fe

I'm basically picking between a route through Southern Utah or one through Northern Arizona, but unsure which one is better/more scenic?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions!

Maps attached below.

Option 2

Hey there! A friend and I are looking to take a road trip along the West Coast from California, likely LA, though we did consider starting more south than that, like San Diego, and driving up the coast through Oregon to Washington, maybe ending in Forks. We'd likely be making use of a car rental and we have about 7-8 days of time, do you think we could fit in enough to make it worth our while?

This is a last-minute idea but we're feeling ambitious. Given that a rigid one-way drive without stops from LA to Forks is about a day, we figure that sprinkling in motel stays, some breaks, and with some proper charting of our sight-seeing along the coast, without going far inland, we might actually be able to see quite a bit.

We're pretty familiar with travelling, but we're not super experienced with road tripping in this part of North America (West Coast America). I've picked up a few words of advice over time, like to be cautious on the Orgeon Coast Highway and to be aware of how the driving conditions (weather) will change heading in this direction, but I'm looking for any insight you might have, like something general or about:

- Feasibility of this idea (or how to make it feasible)

- Ideal coastal stops or sightseeing that isn't far in land (we love national and state parks but Joshua Tree is out of the question, for example)

- Unseen costs to be aware of

- Common missteps to avoid, either in road tripping or these parts of America

- Accommodation -- We figure a few motels, but we considered Airbnb-ing or something else, like my friend briefly considering renting an RV but that didn't seem like a great idea in the end

Anyways, your thoughts are appreciated! Even if the thoughts are wet-blanket-esque -- We appreciate cautious travelling (or maybe we oughta hear that we shouldn't do this at all!)

Whats the best route to go from cali to boston. Thinking of stoping at zion and bryce on the way. What else is on that route in the middle states, how is it driving in the inland states? Should i go north up to chicago or come up on the east coast from Tennessee? What spots should i stop at?

Hello.
I'm planning my first big road trip from Tampa to Montreal from December 20th to January 24th.

This is the route I want to take. What precautions should I take? Any interesting places to visit? Any information will be helpful. Thanks.

I am tried of work and need a break, looking for a passenger princess lol that can play DJ and hold a conversation. Leaving NC plan some stops etc 3-4 weeks round trip.

Making the drive in just a couple weeks, any recommendations along the way? Driving through Fayetteville , Arkansas to see some friends and stopping in St Louis for the night

Hi all!

We are UK based and planning a road trip in the states in April next year. We have a friends wedding to attend in Chicago on April 12th, and then we plan to visit family in San Francisco who get back from holiday on the 20th. We had the genius plan of road tripping to fill the gap between the 2 dates. We have to be home by the 27th at the latest due to work.

We have gone to an agent in the first instance, just to get an idea on costs and feasibility of the trip. They have advised that we don't drive the whole way otherwise we will either have no time do to stuff on route, or we will have no time with our family on our arrival in SF.

This is their propossed itinerary:

April 13th - Chicago to Springfield - 511 miles, 7 hours 35 minutes

April 14th - Springfield to Clinton - 377 miles, 5 hours 28 minutes

April 15th - Clinton to Amarillo - 178 miles, 2 hours 36 minutes

April 16th - Amarillo to Albuquerque - 280 miles, 4 hours 5 minutes

April 17th - Albuquerque to Holbrook - 230 miles, 3 hours 19 minutes

April 18th - Holbrook to Williams - 127 miles, 1 hour 51 minutes

April 20th - Williams to Las Vegas - 222 miles, 3 hours 19 minutes

April 22nd - Flight from Las Vegas to SF

I guess I am looking for opinions and views on 3 counts. Firstly, does this look sensible in terms of driving times and allowing ourselves to do things en route. I do not mind the long drives themselves.

Secondly, I am looking for suggestions of activities or points of interest to visit along the way. We are planning to do some sort of Canyon based fun when we get to Williams (I will probably try and move that to a hotel actually nearer the GC), which is why we are having 2 nights there, and we hope to catch a show and lose some money in Las Vegas. Other than that we have no clue!

Thirdly, what is everyones opinions on having all the hotels and activities pro-booked versus just winging it and hoping for better rates when we show up on the day? I have had a couple of friends vouch for winging it entirely but I am a little bit warey of that myself. Does anyone have any good/bad experiences of doing it this way?

Thanks for all the advice in advance.

I want to take my 16yr son old somewhere in the Midwest for his birthday which is thanksgiving. We’re in southern Michigan.

Ideas with activities?

R there checkpoints going to San Antonio from Arizona? I heard they delay your trip is that true?

would love to do a roundtrip from Tirana to Sarande

Hello experts!

Unfortunately, I have to move to the North at the worst time. I accepted a job and need to move during thanksgiving week. Can anyone give me any advice for best route (safe) to the north?

I appreciate all your advice.

Is it wrong or silly to want to cancel our South Western USA Road-trip for Summer 2025?

Me and my girlfriend were hoping to roadtrip from San Francisco through most South Western National parks in June to July 2025 and we did a lot of planning, however following the election neither of us are particularly happy with the results and feel it may be worth holding off travelling the states until it becomes politically stable and arguably safer.

(Didn’t realise San Fran was the wrong abbreviation mb)

I’m taking my time driving down the coast between Christmas and New Years and looking for picturesque and/or interesting stops along the way. I’ve got Jekkyl Island, St. Augustine and Orlando on my itinerary already and would love to hear more suggestions. Thanks!

I've recently wanted to take a trip up to Minneapolis from my home city in Central Arkansas. The trip on Google maps says it's around 12.5 hours and takes me on I-40 west and getting on I-49 north up to MN. I wanted to spend the night at least once on the trip and I don't wanna push myself too hard on travel times since this is my first time driving long distances. Should I try to find a place to sleep before I get to Kansas city, MO, which would be just under 6 hours (not including stops and meals) or should I try and stop earlier than that?
