The entire length of the Blue Ridge Parkway is closed.

NC has a travel ban for the entire western portion of the state, so your only reasonable and considerate routes should be as I posted yesterday - via Nashville, Chattanooga, and Atlanta - or I-81 to...

Both I-40 and I-26 are closed indefinitely between TN and NC. NCDOT says it may take a YEAR to reopen I-40, and TDOT says I-26 will be closed at least till the end of October. Official detour is...

Since I made my post, the Google route has changed. It now looks like it's basically the same as what Buck recommended. I still think it's wise to stay out of that particular area of the country.
...

Trying to do this in 1 day would be really pushing it due to all the damage in that part of the country. I normally don't post links to Google Maps, but in this case I will, it's a bit complicated....

If Tioga Pass is closed, odds are that CA-108 will also be closed, as will be CA-120 between Benton and Lee Vining. The closest pass that is kept open in the winter is CA-88. If this is a winter...

Welcome to RTA!

Exactly when are you planning on taking this trip?

That also depends on what route you take to get to Indy. If you go through Cincinnati or Louisville, Dayton or Richmond is not an option.

No no no. You would have to fight rush hour going into Chicago on Wednesday morning. Go through Chicago on the previous evening so you know you will be there on time.

I just returned from a trip to the Chicago area, and I have one piece of advice. Do NOT take the Tri-State Tollway (I-294). It is an ungodly construction mess. I also do not advise you to use the...

Lubbock to Lakewood is potentially drivable in 1 long day - take I-27 to Amarillo, then US-87 to I-25. However, you would probably want to break it up into a day and a half or 2 days. That's the...

Welcome to RTA!

This is a tough one - the "normal" route is about 800 miles, but to avoid all mountains this becomes a 1450 mile trip. I-95 to I-20 to I-22 to I-55 to I-57 to I-80.

If you can...

Nacimiento-Fergusson Rd is closed.

A critical highway linking Idaho and Wyoming has closed indefinitely after a portion of the road cracked and then collapsed in a “catastrophic landslide” Saturday, officials said.

Wyoming Gov....

Here is where you can get passes:

That link is my local TV station, here's the same article on Yahoo:

Does that work for you?

Good chance Tioga Pass will be open through Yosemite. You can get to all 3 passes from Lone Pine and US-395. Sonora is CA-108, Tioga is CA-120, and Ebbetts is CA-4, from US-395 you need to take...

I would split it up. There are only 2 ways to get from one side to the other - the Going To The Sun Road, which is close to half a day by itself, and US-2, which is 1 hour+ from West to East...

I show taking I-70 actually adds closer to 75 miles. If you do decide to go that way, make second overnight in Rawlins and third overnight in WaKeeney or Hays.

Welcome to RTA!

I suggest you take I-90 to I-82 to I-84 to Boise, spend the night.

Take I-84 to I-80, spend the night in Rock Springs or Rawlins.

Take I-80 to I-25, spend the night in...

Welcome to RTA!

To avoid mountains, you will turn a 650 mile trip into a 1000 mile trip. I-65 to Birmingham, then I-20 to I-95. This is a full 2 day drive. Birmingham is the halfway point for...

Welcome to RTA!

Internet is going to be an issue. In the US, I would make sure your phone plan allows for tethering, and in Canada, I'd get a Canadian phone with the same type plan, or buy a...

I believe this trip was done over a month ago.

You could still go to San Simeon - just take 101 to Paso Robles then 46 to Cambria and the PCH. San Simeon isn't far north of Cambria and that stretch of the PCH should be open.
