  1. Default Thanksgiving 2020 road trip from San Francisco, CA to San Antonio, TX

    Hi! I am planning a return road trip (14-16 days) from San Francisco to San Antonio around Thanksgiving. Neither my car (2 wheel drive without winter tires) nor I can handle any snow on the roads. I am thinking of the below itinerary. I skipped Marfa and Fort Davis due to snow concerns. It will be great if you can suggest:

    1. Any places I should skip due to snow or any other reason
    2. Any places I should add to the itinerary
    3. Day 11 and Day 12 seem little hectic for driving. I can add one more day here but did not find any good place to visit and stay for a night. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Day 1: San Francisco, CA to Palm Springs (8 hours drive)
    Stay at Palm Springs, CA

    Day 2: Palm Springs to Joshua National Park (1 hour drive)
    Joshua National Park to Tucson, AZ (5 hours drive)
    Stay at Tucson, AZ

    Day 3: Tucson, AZ to Saguaro National park
    Saguaro National park to Las Cruces (4 hours drive)
    Stay in Las Cruces

    Day 4: White Sands national park to Carlsbad caverns (4 hours drive)
    Stay at Carlsbad, NM

    Day 5: Drive to San Antonio, TX (7 hours drive)

    Day 6, 7, 8, 9, 10: Stay in San Antonio/Austin and make day trips to Caverns of Sonora/Fredericksburg/Houston

    Day 11: San Antonio, TX to Roswell, NM (8.5 hours drive)
    Stay in Roswell, NM

    Day 12: Roswell, NM to Scottsdale, AZ (Pitstop Socorro, NM) (10 hours drive)
    Stay in Scottsdale, AZ

    Day 13: Scottsdale, AZ to San Bernadino, CA (6 hours drive)
    Stay in San Bernadino, CA

    Day 14: San Bernardino, CA to San Jose, CA (8 hours drive)

    Thank you!
