How long does it take from Los Angeles CA, to Baltimore Washington in car? -

We are planning on a road trip from Los CA, to Baltimore Washington, there will be 3 Adults that are going to drive. Have you ever done something like this? Would you suggest it?

Well its roughly about 2,600 miles. If you drive straight through without overnight stops it will take approx just under 2 days. We are driving next week from east coast fl to Sacramento..apparently that takes about 3 days..although we have pets and a child (we are moving) and are planning on taking more like 5 days so we can stop overnight or stop to take in the scenery or attractions as we please. Enjoy it!

Baltimore is in Maryland, and from L.A. to Baltimore is roughly 2,600 miles, give or take. How long it takes depends on how quickly you drive, road conditions, etc. Even if there are three of you driving, sleeping in a car is not a very good rest. And even if it takes longer, you probably should stop at hotels and get at least a few hours of sleep along the way. You will also want to stop for meals and restroom breaks.

Ok, seriously, I ve gone from Mendocino CA to Baltimore. We allowed 13 days. We had to skip half the things we wanted to see.We averaged 400 miles per day (a straight line distance of 2600 miles is useless ... expect to add 50% for touring / sightseeing). That was a pretty fast pace.If you want to really SEE the US, plan for about 200 miles per day.If you just want to scream across the US and see only Interstate highways, rest stops, and hotels, you can do it in 3-5 days. There is no point in doing that, as you will see nothing and hate the experience.

Better allow between 5 and 7 days. That will give you enough time to stop at night to rest, refuel both the car and yourselves and take a potty break now and then. For safety sake, as well as your overall comfort, it is best not to try three 8 hour shifts behind the wheel. You don t want to arrive at your destination in a body bag.

have done vegas to new hampshire in just over 3 days of straight driving and only stops for food and bathroom breaks.

no sleep 2 days
