We did the Yellowstone thing (first time) years ago and I thought a week or so would be enough; including travel time out and back from Kentucky. All the other trips are easily doable with the time you'll have but I'd save that trip out West when I had plenty of time to enjoy everything Yellowstone has to offer.
Another 20 years then...lol
Actually a two week trip for us would actually be 16 days. I would think a week in Yellowstone would be plenty enough. That would leave at least 9 days of travel to there and back. I would think 4.5 days would be enough to cover 2100 miles. That's less than 500 miles of driving a day. We've easily driven 600 miles on our trip to Destin and in a day and a good part of it was back roads. From here to Yellowstone will be majority interstate.
Once again we are destination campers. We choose specific places to go to and then go to them. We don't stop to smell the roses. Might stop to spend the night, but not to stay in an area for a period of time just because. We have to do it that way due to restricted schedules (both of our work and childs school). If we see places along the way that we might wanna see some other time, then we put it on our list. At least it's along the way and not as far as our destination. Oh there are places around Yellowstone that I want to see some time. Jackson Hole, a good bit of montana, and etc...But those will be a different type of trip.
I'm gonna have to investigate the whole michigan thing. So many people are posting about different places. I need to put them all on a map and see where they are. A week just up to mackinaw island there would be enough for us. Once again, a week to us is 9 days +. If I were going to do two weeks, I would go up all the way and around back through Wisconsin. After a couple days in one place, we get bored as we will have seen most everything we want to see in that area.
