Your estimates for your trip are very impressive! After reading your post I have a couple of recommendations.
Have your car checked out by a competent mechanic before leaving. It will be worth paying Toyota $300 to have them go over the car. If they found something seriously amiss It could save you a serious inconvenience! I’m not seeing that you know anything about cars mechanically And that worries me. Especially since you got the car for free! If you could spend some time in southern Utah that is an excellent place for scenery. I think a lot of your trip is going to be very boring compared to what’s out west. Good luck and tell us what happens!

Sounds like a fun trip. It is good to have a basic plan but I have discovered that often the best parts of a trip (or life in general) are the unplanned moments. Don't be afraid to alter the plan if you're not feeling it and something inside you seems to be pulling you in another direction. You'll know those moments when they appear.
I wish I had the time for a trip like that. My ultimate road trip goal is a 48 state no time frame free for all but that is going to have to wait until I retire. Enjoy |

I was just up Mt Evans CO this year in the yaris and also drove a rental around the whole country in 2015 9200 miles in 11 days with no problem.
Shes a very comfortable long distance roadtrip car. See all my roadtrip forum threads for inspiration though it seems you are already excited! Have fun a post lots of pics! |

I drove my yaris from FL to CA to be taken to HI. I drove during the day, about 8 hrs and I took I20 to I10 to avoid the damage that the Hurricane did. I left FL on a Thursday and got to CA on Monday, left car to be moved to the ship and flew to HI. I picked up a nail in tire had that fixed. I did this almost 2 years ago. My yaris now has 99,000 miles getting close to the 100,000. I've had Yari since 2008. She is 2dr hatchback automatic.

National parks tend to be firkin' crowded. Check out https://freecampsites.net/. Open Google Maps and look for random national monuments/forests and green-shaded areas. Northern New Mexico and Southern Utah will be a lot less busy than anything near Denver, and just as beautiful. Last edited by grilled cheeseus; 01-01-2019 at 08:35 PM. |

This trip plan is very well put together! I really like how much actual planning and estimating went into making it. I am a bit underwhelmed because there was no follow-up on how the travel actually went. It would have been very interesting to see how accurate your estimations were and how whether or not everything went according to plan. Other than that, great inspiration for a road trip across the US. I have been traveling to Germany, exploring the country on these trains dbfahrplanauskunft.com. My wife has been dreaming of a trip to the US for the entirety of our married life. I will definitely be taking inspiration from this post!

Great plan, everything is well thought out! My husband and I are planning a winter trip. I love snowboarding and he is skiing. We chose the resort for a long time until we came across the site bluehouseskis.com. There are even more interesting options. But everywhere there are pros and cons that are described there. We are from the USA but wanted to make a trip to Canada. We are planning to visit Mont Sutton. There are more advantages than disadvantages described. Has anyone already rested here? Tell us about your impressions.

I've been looking for my first car and saw a 2010 Toyota Yaris sedan for sale in my price range, with 150,000 miles automatic transmission. The only issues with the car itself seem to be cosmetic (the exterior paint has some wear). I dig the odd look it has going for it, and I'm 5'4 so the size isn't an issue. I hope it's a good car for traveling cause I do it a lot. Before I did it by train reisen einen Tag , but I've decided it's time for me to drive and go on long road trips by myself.
