This is obviously directly related to the amount of time you have to enjoy your road trip. I found that I averaged 240 miles a day but this is a distorted average due to some particularly long days: Grand Canyon to Las Vegas - 343 miles, and Las Vegas to LA, 374 miles. These were both very long days and particularly tiring. However, a usual day’s travel most often fluctuated around the 200 mile mark and this felt comfortable given the 2 weeks I had to drive the full distance, east to west. The day’s driving would usually begin between 9 and 10am and we’d comfortably get to our destination about 5pm - but occasionally as early as 2pm - having spent a lot of time stopping at various towns and attractions.
Every journey is different and these figures are only intended to be a guide to help you plan your own.
