Coast to Coast

[Flinty]

Hi All,

Brand new here and very happy to find this site!! We are in the beginning stages of planning a coast to coast trip. We are from Vancouver BC, and are headed down to Seattle as our starting point. The trip planning is in the very early stages and any input from you seasoned travelers would be greatly appreciated! This is what we have so far. Seattle to Yellowstone National Park, which is the one place in the entire world my 12 yr old daughter wants to go. Yellowstone to Mt Rushmore. Mt Rushmore to Madison Wisconsin. Madison to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh to New York, stay in New york/New Jersey for a few days. Off to Maine for a day or so. Then from Maine travel on to Antigonish Nova Scotia to see some family!! This is a long journey for sure but we would love to see all kinds of great historical sites or attractions along the way. My family and the other family we are traveling with would greatly appreciate any tips or ideas you may have. Thanks a lot and Happy Travels!!

I should also say, we will be leaving Seattle on July 3rd. So this will be an early summer trip.

Hello and welcome to RTA !

How much time are you going to have for this adventure and is it a one way trip or an out and back ? There are thousands of possibilities on a cross country trip and you will get many ideas from searching around this site. Yellowstone is a place that you need to spend 3 or 4 days at to get around this vast place and there is also the Grand Tetons just to the south.

Thank you for the welcome! It will be a 23 day round trip. We would like to have at least 3-5 of the days in Nova Scotia.
