Once you depart Ogdensburg, the most direct route will cover 2800 miles. Assuming you have most of the remaining five days, scheduled for the trip, you can either drive a leisurely nine hours a day and cruise your way to Seattle or you can hammer down some sections and allow time for sight-seeing along the way.

The most direct route is I-94 (and if you put I-94 into the search utility on the top of this page you will see a number of places to explore). In the hammer-down mode, I would suggest two hard days at ~ 12+ hours of driving, to allow time to explore the Theodore Roosevelt NP in North Dakota. Then some more hard hours and take I-15 north to US-89 and take the "Going to the Sun Highway" in Glacier NP (awesome!)

Then pick up US-2 through the Montana Rockies, past Libby and on into Sandpoint, Idaho. Great bars and fun places to hang in Sandpoint. Then down to Coeur d'Alene -- another fun town (in the summer) and by now you will be nearly out of time, so time for more hammer-down on I-90 on into Seattle.

If, by some amazing fluke, you still have a day or so available when you hit Spokane -- At Ellensburg go north on US-97 thru Leavenworth and over Steven's Pass thru the Cascades -- gorgeous mountain driving into Seattle

Thanks for the info we are running those numbers and see how possible that route is. Is it dificult finding lodging?We were gonna take a more I94 to I90 to then to I84. But perhaps your route is better.

AS far as glacier park in canada, how is the police situation? Many troopers? I have a bad tendency to speed.. ;)
