New York to Seattle?

[molberts]

Hi All,

Would love some recommendations for this trip please.

I've to be in Seattle on the 4th of May and will be flying home through New York at the end of april (I reckon the 29th/30th April but its still to be confirmed) so I figured hey, instead of flying home to Ireland why not squeeze in a road trip inbetween!

Literally just found this out so have no plans at all, any must do's or suggestions at all would be great. Open to hiring a car, getting a bus, train, whatever :)

Edited to add - I figured a little more info would be helpful! I enjoy being outdoors, wildlife, scenery and so forth (but would be on for exploring cities also) so have no problem camping/roughing it a little. I'll have come from volunteering in Haiti so will already have my backpack with me and not the nicest of clothes :)

Also, I've just read a review here of a trip to The Badlands - sounds amazing so I'd love to include that!!

Thanks a mil!
