Plan on around 15,000 miles or so.
- 2000 up the west coast
- 4000 across Canada
- 2000 down the east coast
- 3000 across the southern USA
- Toss in a few extra thousand for side trips and taking the backroads
This is a pretty conservative estimate. Better to have some gas money left over than run out in Texas!
Here are my recommendations of places to visit…
- Yosemite Nat’l Park, CA
- Drive as much of the CA, OR, WA coast as possible
- Crater Lake Nat’l Park, OR
- Cascades Nat’l Park, WA
- Vancouver, BC coastline
- Pacific Rim Nat’l Park, British Columbia, CA
- Banff, Jasper, Yoho, Kootenay Nat’l Parks, Alberta/British Columbia Canada (on the border between the two and essentially all one park)
- The Great Lakes (Canada and UDA)
- Niagara Falls
- Burlington, Vermont and Lake Champlain
- White Mountains, Franconia Notch and Mount Washington in New Hampshire (I’m from there, so I had to throw this in!)
- Acadia Nat’l Park, Maine
- Cape Cod and the Islands (Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket), Massachusetts
- New York City
- Shenandoah Nat’l Park, Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia into North Carolina
- Charleston, South Carolina
- Key West, Florida
- New Orleans, Lousiana
- Carlsbad Caverns Nat’l Park, New Mexico
- Grand Canyon Nat’l Park, Arizona
- “The Wave”, Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Nat’l Monument, Arizona/Utah
- Arches Nat’l Park, Utah (and the other Nat’l Parks in Southern Utah, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Zion, Capitol Reef are all right next to each other)
- Death Valley Nat’l Park, California
That should bring you in a huge loop from LA back to LA. If you hit 1/2 the spots I mentioned, I would consider yourselves successful. Enjoy and take tons of pictures!

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it’s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online… otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
