How many people total, adults and kids? How many can drive?
Welcome to RTA!
At the present time, the PCH is closed by a landslide in the Big Sur area. Hopefully it will be open by the time you take your trip but there's no guarantee.
Donna - the Grand Canyon East Entrance reopened April 8.

You are not allocating enough time for this trip, even before considering sightseeing. This drive would take 5 full days with no diversions, taking I-40/CA-58/I-5.
I don't think the 72 is ribeye, I believe it's sirloin.
It doesn't snow that much here, and when it does it's usually gone in a couple days.
The Big Texan is known for their 72 steak challenge:
72oz Steak Dinner Challenge Includes: Shrimp Cocktail, Baked Potato, Salad, with Roll, Butter, and of course the 72oz Steak
1. Entire meal...
I would really try to make the time to drive UT-12 between Torrey and Bryce Canyon. You have a great car for it!
Go back up to I-70, take that to UT-24 through Hanksville past Capitol Reef to Torrey, take UT-12 to Bryce Canyon. UT-12 is one of the most scenic drives you will find anywhere. Depending on time,...
The halfway point is Ritzville WA. They have a Days Inn, a Best Western, and 3 mom and pop motels. Spokane, of course, has a larger selection.
Quickest way into Anacortes is I-405 to I-5 to Mt....
Considering that this is a 600 mile trip, you won't need 3 days unless you want to do a lot of sightseeing. The fastest and most direct route is in fact I-90. If necessary, this can just be done in...
There is a Jackson in Montana, but it's over 20 miles from US-93. It's between Wisdom and Dillon on MT-278.
Something to look at - take I-44 through Springfield to Exit 57, take MO-96 (a stretch of original Route 66) through Carthage, west of town take the exit to stay on 96 through Oronogo to MO-141. ...
Check lowclearances.com, they sell a database. They claim that they have 7000 low clearance bridges in the US.
The drive would be more enjoyable if you took some extra time for sightseeing.
Buck, I don't think their father is making the trip, these people are going to see their father who is in NE the way I read it.
Buck's route suggestions are good, except I believe he meant...
I guess the Motel 6 here was *really* bad - I drove by today and it's no longer a Motel 6, it's a Super 7. That has to be really bad to lose the franchise.
Buck recommended the same route as I did, but there's only one hotel and no chain restaurants in York, which is why I recommended Meridian.

If you only have 6 days total, you don't have time to do anything but take the fastest all-Interstate route, and you will have to return the very next day via the same route. This...
It's 13.5 miles south of I-44 via US-65, and there's a shortcut back to I-44 westbound using US-60/MO-360. They are both freeway quality. Almost all restaurants in this neck of the woods are open...
You won't be going anywhere near Sikeston, but there's also a Lambert's in Ozark, which is near Springfield.
Can be done easily in 3 hours via US-191/I-70/UT-24.
It's going to take longer than that if you take UT-12, HIGHLY recommended. About 3 hours with no stops, but you will want to make several...
You don't have to deal with Chicago, just take I-43 to I-39 through Beloit and Rockford to I-55. St. Louis is not a major issue if you take the southeast bypass instead of the northwest bypass -...
Tusayan is at the south entrance, and that's open. The east entrance from Cameron is closed. You will have to go all the way to Flagstaff and cut back. This adds over 80 miles.
For this trip, if you don't have an EZ-Pass, I'd get one! No matter which way you go, if you expect to make this drive using 2 days each way you will be paying a lot of tolls.

Could you please tell us roughly where in Maine you are?
