We are planning a trip to Yellowstone next August. I want to go about 550 miles the first day. My wife says thats too far. What do others think?
550 in one day, we've done that but it wasn't real enjoyable, but doable. do it several days in a row? nope.
BTW I've more than occasionally driven 775 miles non towing in a day by myself and very often with DW sharing driving. Doing that run solo is less tiring than 500 miles towing.
We generally try a day that is 350 or less, maybe 400 miles or less unless we are planning on short day afterwards, or a day stopped.
When towing our goal is getting up and having a nice breakfast, start the road trip and be in the camping spot by 3pm, ready for a relaxing afternoon and evening.
Don't like rushing breakfast and don't like arriving such that as soon as we are pulled in it's time to start dinner prep.
That pretty much sets the 350ish miles/day. And that gives us time to do some siteseeing stops etc. if we want.
