Rod trip
 
Hey guys,
I'm planning a western road trip for later this year. I plan on flying into Denver CO and from there heading west I independence pass, then making my way through glen wood springs, then up to steam not where I have some friends. From there I was going straight to Yellowstone (spending a few days there) then up to glacier national park (spending few days there) then making my way over to Olympic national park, and the peninsula.. Roughly 2k miles. Is this doable in 3 weeks?

It's basically a full day drive each of the 3 long legs. Is it doable? Sure - many people drive longer distances in shorter time.

Is it enjoyable? Not to me. I much prefer more time in one or 2 places and less long distance travel. Your definition of enjoyable may be different than mine.

If you want time in the national parks, I'd cut Olympic as it's a long way away from the other places you plan to visit. Choose a third park that isn't so far away.

<i>Choose a third park that isn't so far away.</i>

Great options include Rocky Mountain NP, Grand Teton NP, Arches NP, and Colorado National Monument.

Y'know, when I saw the title, I said to myself "Self, either this is a typo or someone's looking for fishing suggestions."
