24 Day USA Coast to Coast Itinerary, incl. New York City and Los Angeles
A 24-day cross-country tour connects 16 major cities across America. The route includes 7 national parks, with Yellowstone and Grand Canyon as highlights. Guests stay in centrally located hotels, enjoying 8 breakfasts while traveling by deluxe motorcoach through varied American landscapes.
- Days 1-2
New York City:
Start in NYC and hit the Empire State Building before 9 AM to skip the crowds. A recent visitor shared: "The morning light over Manhattan from the observation deck was incredible, and we only waited 10 minutes to get up." Spend your first afternoon in Lower Manhattan and the 9/11 Memorial. Use day 2 for Midtown attractions and Central Park. Get a MetroCard for unlimited subway rides - it's much better than dealing with rush hour taxi traffic.
- Days 3-4
Philadelphia & Washington DC:
NYC to Philly is about 2 hours by car. Give yourself 2-3 hours for the Independence Hall area before driving to DC (2.5 hours more). The National Mall museums in DC are free but fill up quickly. Get there at 10 AM when they open. Book your Capitol tour well ahead of time. Take the monuments tour at night for better photos and smaller crowds.
- Days 5-6
Niagara Falls:
The 7-hour drive from DC is long but scenic. Book a hotel on the Canadian side for better views. Take the Maid of the Mist boat ride in the morning when lines are shorter. Bring a waterproof jacket - you'll need it! Take time to drive the Niagara Parkway and check out the vineyards.
- Days 7-8
Chicago:
Stop at the Henry Ford Museum near Detroit on your way to Chicago (4 hours more). Stay in River North to be close to Michigan Avenue shopping and Navy Pier. Book your Lake Michigan architecture cruise early if you're visiting in summer.
- Days 9-11
Minneapolis to South Dakota:
Break up the long western drive with a stop in Madison WI. The Mall of America is worth seeing before you enter South Dakota's landscape. Book your Badlands hotel early during peak season. A visitor told us: "The Badlands' striped rock formations at sunset were otherworldly—arrive by 7 PM for the best light."
- Days 12-16
Mount Rushmore to Yellowstone:
Take full days to see Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone's main attractions. West Yellowstone is the best place to stay for park access. Plan around Old Faithful's eruptions every 90 minutes. Look for wildlife at dawn and dusk. Stop in Jackson for amazing Grand Teton views.
- Days 17-20
Utah Parks to Las Vegas:
Take your time in Utah's national parks. See Bryce Canyon's rock formations at sunrise for the best photos. Start Zion hikes early before the midday heat. Visit the Grand Canyon's North Rim to avoid crowds, then head to Las Vegas for a complete change of pace.
- Days 21-24
Los Angeles:
Drive across the Mojave Desert in the morning when it's cooler. Pick a hotel in Santa Monica or West Hollywood where you can walk to attractions. Book the Warner Bros. Studio Tour ahead - it sells out fast. Plan extra time to deal with LA traffic between sites.
23 Days in USA Road Trip, incl. Miami and Los Angeles
A grand 23-day route covers 21 cities across America, with 22 hotel nights and 28 meals included. The 4,500-mile adventure stretches from Miami through Universal Studios Orlando, Nashville's music scene, Utah's five national parks, before concluding in Los Angeles via Las Vegas.
- Days 1-2
Florida
Start in Miami to get your bearings before heading to Orlando. One traveler's tip: "Universal Studios is a must - but get there when it opens at 9am to beat the crowds and Florida heat." Plan your visit around the Harry Potter areas, which get really busy after lunch.
- Days 3-5
Deep South
Take a stop in Savannah, Georgia to explore the historic district for a few hours. Next up is Nashville, where you'll want to hit the Country Music Hall of Fame first thing. In Memphis, give yourself plenty of time for Graceland and try to catch an early Sun Studio tour to skip the crowds.
- Days 6-8
Louisiana & Texas
The drive to New Orleans takes about 7 hours. You'll want two full days to explore the French Quarter. Get to Café du Monde before 8am if you don't want to wait in line for their famous beignets. Plan your Houston arrival to miss the worst traffic at 4pm.
- Days 9-12
Texas Triangle & Route 66
Check out the Fort Worth stockyards early to beat the heat. On your way to Amarillo, stop at Cadillac Ranch and bring spray paint if you want to leave your mark. Pack some warm clothes too - Texas winters can catch you off guard.
- Days 13-15
Southwest
Get up early in Albuquerque if you want to catch a hot air balloon ride. When you get to Denver, take it slow - the altitude is no joke at 5,280 feet. Drink lots of water and visit the Botanic Gardens in the morning light.
- Days 16-19
Utah's National Parks
Make Moab your home base for Arches and Canyonlands. A recent visitor shared: "The 3-mile Devils Garden trail in Arches gets intense midday - start by 7am and bring twice as much water as you think you need." Give yourself full days to explore Bryce Canyon and Zion.
- Days 20-23
Grand Canyon to California
Get to Mather Point 30 minutes before sunrise for the best Grand Canyon views. It's about 4.5 hours to Vegas from there. Your final stretch to LA through the Mojave Desert needs some planning - try to avoid arriving between 3-7pm when traffic is worst.
Mississippi River Odyssey
A remarkable 22-day voyage spans 11 cities from Louisiana to Minnesota, with extended stays in Memphis, St. Louis, and Paducah. The Viking Mississippi offers 7 different stateroom categories while visiting UNESCO sites and historic river ports.
