My parents put 6000 miles on a rental car out of Seattle in about as many days. If you don't mind driving, go for it!

Day 17 - take the day off work to collapse!

whew colt, I was afriad it was a honeymoon question! Have a nice trip and let us know how it went, Chelsea

Can it be done, probably...enjoyed...that will depend on how much you like being on the move.

Day 2 550 miles & 9 hours just driving (add time for pit stops, gas and meals)

Two days in Glacier is good

Day 5 435 miles & 7 1/2 hours just driving time.

Two days for Yellowstone will barely scratch the surface of this park. We just spent 9 days...and still didn't get to do everything I wanted!

Two nights, one day in Grand Tetons will be nice. You can see the West Thumb area of the park on your way down to the Grand Tetons. Short, scenic drive.

Day 10 390 miles and 7 1/2 hours just driving time.

Day 11 about 450 miles and 7 hours just driving time.

Day 13 about 270 miles and 5 1/2 hours just driving

It's been YEARS since we've been to Mt. Rainier and Olympic NP's. and back then we only spent 2 nights at each park.

Approx. Total miles 2336 if anyone's interested.

Lodging Glacier Natl Park: We enjoyed the somewhat primitive Many Glacier Lodge on east side of park, but have nothing to say about Lake McDonald Lodge except that it has an incredibly unique historically restored lobby.
