I am planning to drive my family back to Los Angeles in
early December. Current plans are to drive 8 -10
hours/day, stoping in major cities and staying at bigger
chain hotels (less safety concerns).

?how many days should a cross-country road trip take? We
currently mapped out 7 days (!)

We plan to drive through denver, CO. We will have an AWD
SUV. Is this adequate if snow is on the ground?

Currently, or route is Boston - Harrisburg, PA -
Cincinatti, OH - Kansas City, MI, - Denver, CO - Grand
Canyon, AZ - Las Vegas, NV - Los Angeles, CA.

?Is this a decent route?

Can this trip be shortend?

I look forward to your advice -- "C"
