What is the Best Scenic Route from Pennsylvania to California? -
My family is planning to have a road trip next summer and what better time to prepare for it than asking the question now right? Anyway, we plan to travel by Road from Pennsylvania (Allentown) to California (Los Angeles) and we are devoting 10 days for it. We plan to stay from the 11th to 12th day in Los Angeles then take Airplane going back to PA on day 13.My question, what is the best scenic route to take? We are looking for family attractions from state to state (museums, kiddie rides, scenic attractions, etc...).. Is the Route below a good one to take? or is there other/better way? and another question, would a nationwide Car Rental (e.g. Enterprise, Avis, Hertz, etc..) agree that we start renting a car in PA only to be returned to their CA counterpart?I don t really know that many great sites that well...1. Day 1 travel to Chicago (Sears Towers, etc...) - 11 hours Drive2. Day 3 travel to South Dakota (Mt Rushmore, etc..) - 14 hours Drive3. Day 5 travel to Wyoming (Yellowstone, etc..) - 11 hours Drive4. Day 7 travel to Nevada (Las Vegas, etc..) - 13 hours Drive5. Day 9 travel to Northern California (Yosemite, etc..) - 9 hours Drive6. Day 10 travel to Los Angeles - 5 hours Drive
Honestly ? You need to start with clean sheet of paperThe basics:Driving in daylight only and stopping to see very little for very long, a family will typically take 4-5 days to drive coast to coast and average aroiund 50 mph in the processThe cheapest way to rent any car is on a round trip basis and at a local location rather than an airport locatonRule :All cars get smaller as the trip gets longer : Rent the biggest vehicle that you can find that burns regular unleaded gas and gives you unlimited mileage use either Hertz or Avis because they have the most locations nationwide One way -flights are more expensive than roundtrips strange But true and flying out of smaller airports is always more expensive than flyiing out of bigger airportsSince you want to see mt rushmore , your routing should look like this Just be aware of the fact that Bike WeeK in Sturgis SD will make lodging in the area damned near impossible to find on the spur of the moment Know that the point to point times given by mapquest et al are esssentially useless as are most of their directions Use paper maps/atlases ,and AAA guidebooks and Triptiks insteadIf I was driving this ....and I have ...My basic routing would be Allentown Chicago Ottawa ILOttawa North PlatteNE Scottsbluff NE RapidCity SD Devils Tower WY West Yellowstone WY Jackson WY SLC Wendover UT South Lake Tahoe Lee Vining CA El Portal CAMontery CA San Luis Obispo CABakersfield CA Barstow CA Flagstaff AZGCN Kayenta AZ Mexican Hat UT CortezCO Telluride COLa Salle Junction UT Moab UT Georgetown COGranby CO Estes Park CO DEN and fly out of DenverIf you run the numbers you may find it cheaper to do a round trip from PHL or EWR or JFK to DEN or SLC and then rent a car on a return to, the renting location basis Get an $80.00 National Parks Pass and enjoy your trip Rapid City
its a decent route. be prepared for storms along the way. the drive from wyoming to nevada wil be one long, brown, boring, hot drive. drink plenty of water.have fun.
You might drop Las Vegas and LA from your journey and go from Yellowstone to Reno, Lake Tahoe to San Francisco?Of the three major cities (SF, LA, SD) in Cali, in my humble opinion, San Francisco is the one I would rather go to on vacation.If you are hell bent of on going to LA. Consider SF to LA via the pacific coast highway (Hwy 1). The pacific coast highway drive from SF (over the Golden Gate) north to Eureka is the more scenic.Don t believe the marketing hype, Las Vegas is not for kids. Driving north to south in Nevada is probably the most boring drive I ve ever done. However, on the positive side - Death Valley Joshua Tree forest Mojave are pretty cool.It all depends on what you want to see and do. Grand Canyon, Sedona, AZ, and the Canyonlands area of Utah would not to be missed destinations too.
