Flightway · 45 days · 44 nights
A large circuit from California up the Pacific coast, through the North Cascades and Idaho, east to Denver, southwest across the Utah diagonal, then through Las Vegas and Death Valley back to the coast.
Road routing is a planning aid. Verify closures, access, and conditions before driving.
Drive-optimized sequence
The order minimizes unnecessary driving within the Flightway's intended direction. Combine or extend stops around your own pace, weather, and current access.
