Best road trip route from Houston to Seattle, Washington

The Salt Lake City Route is more direct and will take you through the desert landscapes of New Mexico before driving through the mountains and greenery of the Western states. You can also visit the larger cities within the US on this route.

If you're a fan of skiing, national forests and parks, you can take detours to five of America's largest national parks; Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park from Moab, Utah. You can also visit Mount Rainier and Olympic National Park before reaching Seattle.

Unlike the Salt Lake City Route, the Denver Route gives you the option to directly visit incredible national parks like Great Sand Dunes National Park and Yellowstone, instead of having to make detours. Travel through Colorado's mountains, visiting more quaint cities on this route.

Although you will be weaving through phenomenal National Parks, this route is a bit longer and you will have to make detours to visit any National Parks in Washington. We would suggest setting aside 5 to 6 days for this road trip to fully enjoy the adventures it has to offer.

The Salt Lake City Route

Exit Houston on Interstate 45 (I-45) N and follow TX-71 W to reach Austin. From there, head south to get on TX-1 Loop N. Consequently, you will reach the colorful city of Santa Fe through the Old Pecos Trail in Santa Fe County.

Continuing on W 600 S, you will get to Salt Lake City. Take an overnight break here, exploring the Mormon culture, historical museums and intermountain west before hitting the road again toward Boise. The next point on this route is Portland.

Get on I-5 N from SE Morrison Bridge to head toward your destination of the “Emerald City” of Seattle with its coffee culture, tech abundance, and grunge music.

The Denver Route

Follow I-45 N from Houston to Griffin St W toward Dallas. Head east toward Browder St and continue on Texas 121 TEXpress to reach the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. Enjoy a sleigh ride on the sand dunes or simply admire the scenery here.

Head southwest toward Walsen Ave to your destination in Denver. Stop here for a while and indulge in the natural, mountainous beauty, diverse culture and incredible skiing opportunities.

The next direction you would need to take is northeast toward Cleveland Pl in Teton County to reach the Grand Teton National Park. This is a great place to take a break and enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

Next, take WY-22 to head toward West Yellowstone, a great gateway to Yellowstone National Park. This is another great place to admire and marvel at nature's beauty. From there, hit Cardwell from US-20 to reach Coeur d'Alene. Heading toward Sherman Ave, you will reach the “Lilac City” of Spokane.

Best time to go on a road trip from Houston to Seattle, Washington

Seattle can be considered a year-round destination with dry summers and mild winters. As you move from the deserts in the South to the Pacific Northwest region, the temperature range will be from 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

The starting destinations will have hotter and drier summers while the coastal region will be cooler and more humid as brisk air will be coming in from the ocean. Summer is a great time to visit Seattle as its highest temperature ranges from 70 degrees Fahrenheit to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

The states further south will have milder winters with temperatures ranging from 15 degrees Fahrenheit to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Even though Seattle has heavy snowfall in various mountain areas, its winters are still mild with a temperature range of 45 degrees Fahrenheit to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

For people who love snowfall, white mountaintops, freezing lakes and waterfalls, Seattle winters will be their wildest dreams come true.

The ideal times to go on this road trip are spring and fall as the weather will remain consistent throughout the route with temperatures ranging from 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

If you are traveling in spring, you will get to enjoy beautiful blossoms as you travel through Yellowstone or Olympic National Park (among other stunning detours you can make) depending on the route you chose. The same can be said of the fiery fall foliage displays.

Seattle doesn't hold many large events, but it is most recognized for Bumbershoot, an international music festival that is held underneath the Space Needle during the Labor Day weekend.

Hi,We are planning to drive from Houston to Seattle in March(during the spring break) with small kids.We have about 10-12 days.what would be the best scenic route to travel?we would like to drive back through another route so that we can get to see other places..please help!

Wow...long way for a short time especially if you are on the lower end of the time frame. Googlemaps gives it about 2,300 miles one way. If you are not used to Road Trips and have small kids you may not be able to get more than about 500 miles a day, so that's 4+ days one way. If you stop anywhere along the way to visit a National Park or if you have weather issues (you can still have winter in Utah, Idaho and parts of WA that time of year) you'll barely be able to tag up in Seattle, say hello and start back home if you are counting on 10 days.

I'll let someone get you from Houston to Colorado, but from there I25 north to I80 to I84 to I82 to I90 is your quickest route. That does take you over Snoqualmie Pass in the Cascades as you approach Seattle.

One way or round trip for 10-12 days? You need to plan for a minimum of 4 days each direction.

Weather still mostly winter going through mountains. They actually get most of snowpack with wetter late winter/spring snows.

Safest weatherwise is I-10 to LA (or San Diego) then I-5 to Seattle. It is also only about 300 miles longer than a diagonal route. I-40 that late can be a good but is still susceptible of weather disruption.

If you want to cross the west coast ranges or rocky mountains further north you need plan around weather and can be caught out and stranded. I-25, I-80, I-15, I-84, I-90

Most southerly and northerly routes

https://goo.gl/maps/RJpZFrP8aFz

Couple of middle routes

https://goo.gl/maps/X9nFrZMcXBH2

Trying to go by Grand Canyon would get away from interstates and could be iffy for weather.

Any of the routes has lots of interesting places on way.

Thanks for the quick reply!!We are used to taking road trips..I know it's a long long way..have been looking for options to travel in spring.We have already been to Nevada,Arizona,New Mexico,Colorado,LA,Florida,New York,Vermont..so was looking at places and options!!Chicago is also on the list..think that will be more feasible right?

Chicago and midwest still gets hit with snowstorms in march at times. So no guarantees. Great summertime destination. People in Chicago go south for some warmth at spring break!!

If you don't have a need to go to Seattle, then maybe west to San Diego then north to San Francisco and back.

Take hwy 1 between LA and San Francisco. I could spend 3 or 4 days just in Balboa Park in San Diego. Wine country, Death Valley, theme parks, Yosemite, Santa Barbara, Big Sur, Death Valley, Palm Springs, Catalina Island,...........

to late to edit

Maybe something like

https://goo.gl/maps/VcTM6tFhWvz

Houston-San Diego 2 days

San Diego 2 days

San Diego-LA 1/2 day

LA 1 1/2 days

LA-San Francisco coast road 2 days

San Francisco 1 day

San Francisco-Palm Springs 1 day

Palm Springs-Houston 2 days

I'd maybe cut it off at Portland rather than extending up to Seattle. We did this loop in March in 10 days:

https://goo.gl/maps/dyBtddjc6UC2

LV to Twin Falls was a looooong day, but so beautiful up central Nevada. I thought Twin Falls was worth a stop and some time, then we went to the Oregon Trail Interpretive Centre on our way to The Dalles, which was actually really interesting.

I think if you focus on central Oregon, maybe out to the coast for a bit, that might be slightly more doable.

Match is not the time to fo this. Many Of THE Scenery You Can't Access noR See IN march.

This is a long 4 day one way trip

Save it gor july and fly....

For spring break look at smokies and/or charleston and savannah.

>> Chicago is also on the list..think that will be more feasible right? <<

Sure. Look at the Great River Road as a possibility - up the Mississippi through the Mississippi Delta, Memphis, St. Louis etc.

Or longer but gorgeous, head to Washington DC and/or the Appalachians (Blue Ridge Parkway, Charlottesville VA, etc.) Better weather, lots of things for the kids to see/do.

If you like long road trips, I think a trip to the California coast is plenty long for spring break. There is plenty to see between LA and Monterey. Its about 3 long days each way and that leaves you 4-6 days to see the sights.

How to: Yellowstone Road Trip from Seattle

• How to: Yellowstone Road Trip…

Erupting geysers, alpine lakes, glaciated peaks, sprawling landscapes, and amazing wildlife certainly made our roadway trip from Seattle to Yellowstone National Park extremely special. While the national park itself is an icon, the Pacific Northwest also boasts some of the most pristine outdoors in the country. That’s why we loved every bit of our Yellowstone road trip from Seattle, which spawned three states, Washington and Idaho, and finally came to a stop in Wyoming. We not only explored Yellowstone’s gorgeous icons like Old Faithful and Mammoth Springs but also amazing towns like Lake Coeur d’Alene, Missoula, and more along the way. Are you excited to make this trip? Here’s a detailed guide to where we visited and stayed and which sights and attractions we saw. Adventure, here we come!

Table of contents

Planning our trip, starting from seattle, stopping at spokane, stop for the night: coeur d’alene, mesmerizing missoula, reaching and exploring west yellowstone, next stop: north yellowstone, adios, yellowstone, tips for an unforgettable experience, what’s the best time of the year for a road trip from seattle to yellowstone, can you drive through yellowstone at any time, do you need to pay to drive through yellowstone.

We were already in Seattle when the idea of the Yellowstone trip struck us. So, while we explored the many amazing things to do in Seattle , we also planned the trip down to the T. This included everything from snacks and winter clothes to hiking gear and heated blankets . Even though we were traveling during the shoulder season of summer and fall, Yellowstone could get cold during early mornings and nights. Did we mention it’s also one of the best US winter vacation destinations? Yes!

The shortest, most direct, and most popular route from Seattle to Yellowstone is 740 mi (~1,200 km). Interestingly, the route from Seattle to Yellowstone National Park took us directly to West Yellowstone, the western entrance to the park. Not only is it the most popular entrance, but it’s also the closest entrance to Geyser Paradise in the park. While it takes around 12 hours to navigate, we took 2 days, making amazing stops along the way.

This is what our journey looked like:

• Drive from Seattle
• Make a stop at Spokane
• Spend the night in Coeur d’Alene
• Make a stop in Missoula
• Spend two nights in West Yellowstone
• Spend two nights in North Yellowstone
• Drive to Bozeman
• Fly back home

Exploring Seattle took us three days, as it is home to amazing sights like Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, and a gorgeous waterfront. And, of course, this is the birthplace of Starbucks, which we couldn’t get enough of. Since this was our first visit, we couldn’t explore every bit of Emerald City. So, we’re certain we’re going to land up here again. Pro tip: It was very rainy when we visited, as it rains here for more than half of the year. So, don’t forget to pack rain jackets and travel umbrellas .

Staying at the Thompson Seattle was everything we imagined our stay in the city would be like. We were right next to Pike Place Market and the waterfront, and the rooftop boasted spectacular views of the city and the water. Don’t miss The Nest , its amazing rooftop bar and lounge. It also offers a unique igloo dining experience on the rooftop, which is very romantic. The Thomspon was also one of the best Seattle Downtown boutique hotels , so what more could we want?

Check Rates on:

That said, there are many other staying options, such as Seattle, WA’s best cheap hotels for travelers on a budget and even 420-friendly Seattle hotels for those who want to explore the city’s famed recreational marijuana scene.

Since our overnight stop at Coeur d’Alene was just five hours from the city, we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast before checking out around 11 am. After loading our bags in our rented car, we set out eastward from the city toward the Washington-Idaho border, where we’d make our first stop at Spokane.

It took us just 4.5 hours to reach Spokane via the I-90, with Coeur d’Alene sitting right across the border via Spokane Bridge. After a long drive, we were thrilled to lay our eyes on the scenic views of downtown Spokane, especially the 100-acre-huge Riverfront Park. We had many options for lively restaurants around, especially since they all had outdoor or patio seating and served delicious food and drinks. Later on, we headed to Spokane Falls and even enjoyed the 15-minute  Numerica SkyRide  right over the waterfalls. As darkness fell, we headed to Coeur d’Alene.

The northwestern Idaho city of Coeur d’Alene, just 40 minutes from Spokane, was our stop for the night. Since we arrived quite late, we headed straight to our hotel, the highly recommended Coeur d’Alene Resort on the banks of the Harrison Slough. Even though it lay off the I-90, it wasn’t far from it. Plus, it sat right next to Tubbs Hill, where we were going hiking the next morning, so it couldn’t be more perfect for us. The coolest bit was that the resort is home to the world’s longest floating boardwalk! It ran from one end of the resort to another, so we could walk it in 20 minutes. In fact, it was the first activity we did right after checking in!

Since we’d had a long day, we headed straight to the infinity pool at the golf course and enjoyed a relaxing swim, followed by a trip to the spa. After a hearty dinner at the lakeside restaurant, we retired to our Lake Tower room, which not only had a balcony with lake views but even a fireplace. At the end of the day, unwinding with a glass of wine cozied up in front of the fireplace was picture-perfect.

Staying alternative

If you’re looking for a more budget alternative, we highly recommend the La Quinta by Wyndham Coeur d`Alene . Since it’s a Wyndham chain property, it’s not only excellent value for money but also boasts many amenities. For those looking for a smaller, more personal experience, the Roosevelt Inn on the lakeshore is ideal. It even has rooms with views of the lake.

Since we were still 7 hours away from West Yellowstone, we decided to make a full day of it by starting off early at 8 am and exploring the ultra-outdoorsy college town of Missoula. The lovely town lies less than 3 hours away in Montana, just beyond the Lolo National Forest. It sits at the confluence of four rivers: the Rock Creek, the Clark Fork, the Bitterroot, and the Big Blackfoot Rivers. Plus, it’s surrounded by as many as seven wilderness areas. So, we certainly had a hard time deciding how to spend a few hours here!

We started our adventures with a quick 20-minute hike to the “M” point along the gorgeous Mount Sentinel trail, which offered amazing views. In fact, the summit is another hour away and offers all the more spectacularly sweeping views of the region. Later, we even enjoyed a tubing adventure on the Clark Fork River right through the town center before grabbing a late lunch.

Some of the other things to do and places to see in Missoula include the Missoula Art Museum, the Historic Downtown, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and the verdant Caras Park.

From Missoula, West Yellowstone is just over a four-hour drive, and the entrance to the park is barely 15 minutes from the town. Since the geysers are closest to the western entrance and we wanted an immersive experience, we stayed at the Old Faithful Inn , a Yellowstone icon and a National Historic Landmark. In fact, this 1903-4-built structure is also the largest log structure in the world. However, its USP is its unbeatable location – it was a mere five-minute walk to Old Faithful Geyser! Since we reached the inn after the day visitors had left, we walked along the Observation Point trail to the geyser, soaking in the views in absolute peace and serenity.

The inn might not be the swankiest of digs, but it’s spacious, clean, and has sweeping views of the geyser. Our Junior Suite, for instance, had phenomenal geyser views and was more lavish than the other rooms. The next day morning, we were treated to all the more spectacular views of the geyser before the crowds arrived. After that, we dug into a hearty breakfast and explored the Kepler Cascades and the Morning Glory Pool, which were just 3 mi (4.8 km) from the inn. That’s why it was the best place to stay and experience the western region of Yellowstone.

Another epic thing to do is visit Grand Prismatic Spring, a hot spring surrounded by a nice boardwalk that took us past the vibrant hues. Since we wanted a bird’s eye view of the hot springs, we even hiked up the 1.5-mi-long (2.4 km) Grand Prismatic Overlook Trail.

If you want to stay outside the park, then we cannot recommend the 1872 Inn enough. One of the best hotels near the Yellowstone West Entrance , this upscale, boutique, and adults-only hotel even has a sauna, a fitness center, and amazing continental breakfasts. What’s more, all rooms boast huge bathrooms and even fireplaces. It’s the perfect combination of modern luxury and old-world charm.

Pro tip: Consider entering the park very early in the morning to avoid hoards of tourists since West Yellowstone is an extremely popular, accessible, and year-round entrance.

After spending two nights in West Yellowstone, we decided to explore the national park from another angle. So, we headed to the next closest entrance, North Yellowstone, which lies 53 mi (85.2 km) away along US 191 South.

We added North Yellowstone to our road trip itinerary for many reasons. For one, the entrance is open throughout the year, making it perfect for us to visit at any time. Secondly, the town closest to the north entrance, Gardiner, lies just 10 minutes from the park and the famed Mammoth Hot Springs. Moreover, it’s also where the Boiling River lies, which is one of the park’s only two sanctioned swimming areas. Last but not least, the region is famed for incredible wildlife in the expansive Lamar Valley, which lies 33 mi (53 km) from Mammoth Hot Springs along the northernmost Grand Loop Road. It’s very easy for time to pass quickly here, as you’ll see when you visit!

So, where did we spend the night here? That would be the Yellowstone Hot Springs Resort on the Yellowstone River, just 10 minutes north of Gardiner. We chose it for its amazing location on the river between two magnificent mountain ranges. But the highlight here was the presence of the mineral-rich pools, where we got to relax and rejuvenate. That, along with free Wi-Fi everywhere, gardens, and modern units, some even with kitchens, make it one of the best hotels near the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park .

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Yellowstone Hot Springs (@yellowstonehotsprings)

Spending more than five days in Yellowstone left us thirsty for more adventure, but all good things do come to an end. Luckily, Bozeman International Airport in Montana lay just 1.5 hours north of Gardiner, so we packed up and checked out after a leisurely breakfast and some last-minute photo ops.

The seven-day adventure that brought us from Seattle to Yellowstone might have been over for all intents and purposes, but in our minds, the replaying of memories over and over had just begun. Seeing the world’s first national park and one of the most amazing national parks on earth is a journey, and we made sure that our journey was as interesting as the destination itself.

While visiting Yellowstone is absolutely thrilling, there are a few important tips you need to keep in mind. Here they are:

• Even in summer, Yellowstone’s temperatures could hover near freezing. Plus, Seattle is rainy for most of the year, so dress in layers and pack for multiple seasons.
• There are limited food options on the road besides the main towns. So, pack a lot of road trip-worthy food with you and choose things that don’t need to be kept cold.
• Getting up and about early is a great way to beat the heat, the crowds, and the traffic.
• Allow for stops along the way to stretch your legs and to see many scenic viewpoints.

The shoulder seasons of fall (September-October) and spring (late April-May) are an excellent time to do this road trip. Not only is the weather a bit cooler, but the crowds are also less, and you don’t need to worry about weather-related road closures. 

While the North entrance is accessible throughout the year, the West Entrance usually opens in mid-April, and the other three entrances don’t open until mid-May.

Yes, there’s an entrance fee to access Yellowstone National Park, but vehicle reservations aren’t required. All visitors must have one of the three passes: the Standard, the Annual, or the “America the Beautiful” passes. Check out the details here .

Best Routes From San Francisco To Seattle

There are two main routes for a road trip from San Francisco to Seattle, each with its own advantages and unique views.

The more direct route follows I-5, stopping through Redding, California, Portland, Oregon, and Olympia, Washington on its way to Seattle. When venturing along the I-5 highway, the trip takes approximately 12 hours and 45 minutes of non-stop driving, much of which is through the granite Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. However, if one wants to enjoy most of the attractions along the San Franciso-Seattle road, they must spend at least an extra 5–7 days.

San Francisco to Seattle Via I-5

• Distance: 819 miles
• Time to Drive: ~12 hours 45 minutes
• Recommended Road Trip Time: 5–7 days
• I-5 Road Trip Route Outline: San Francisco, California → Mt. Shasta, California → Ashland, Oregon → Eugene, Oregon → Portland, Oregon → Olympia, Washington → Tacoma, Washington → Seattle, Washington

For a more meandering drive from San Francisco to Seattle, The famous Pacific Coast Highway, the most well-known California road trip, turns into Highway 101 and extends into Oregon and Washington before connecting with Highway 30. Travelers follow Highway 30 until they reach I-5, which returns them to the north-south route until Seattle.

This coastal route from San Francisco to Seattle is arguably the most scenic but does take longer to complete. The entire trip takes approximately 17 hours and 10 minutes non-stop. A coastal road trip from San Francisco to Seattle also demands a slightly longer time frame, taking 7–10 days to fully enjoy.

San Francisco to Seattle Via The Pacific Coast Highway

• Recommended Road Trip Time: 7–10 days

Planning For A Drive From San Francisco To Seattle

A trip from San Francisco to Seattle involves driving for 800 or more miles along the Pacific Northwest and watching the most attractive views while on the way. Before hopping onto the automobile, visitors must rent a car from legitimate and affordable sources, such as RentalCars.com , which offers rentals from various car brands. Another better option is to rent a Campervan or an RV from Outdoorsy to make one's life easier regarding accommodation. A crucial step to take is to issue a car insurance policy to hedge against any sudden accidents.

• Cost of a Campervan: depending on its size, a Campervan costs an average of $130 per night to rent.

Expect traffic delays as VP Kamala Harris visits Seattle this weekend

Another White House visit, another weekend of potential red lines on our traffic maps.

Vice President Kamala Harris is coming to Seattle on Saturday for a campaign stop to raise money for this year’s Democratic ticket, which she shares with President Joe Biden.

Details are slim on Harris’ visit. Her trip follows on the heels of a swing through the city by Biden , who came to Seattle three weeks ago on a fundraising trip. First Lady Jill Biden was in the area in September.

No warning of traffic delays had been issued as of Thursday afternoon, but the Secret Service has the authority to close streets and highways for security reasons. During Biden’s recent visit, for instance, northbound Interstate 5 was closed as his motorcade made its way downtown from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, a few bus lines were rerouted and Sound Transit warned of potential light rail 1 Line delays.

Harris last visited Seattle in August , when she landed at Boeing Field before heading to South Seattle green design and construction firm McKinstry, where she spoke about climate change and touted the investments the Biden administration has made in clean energy.

She then went to a private fundraiser at the Medina home of Beth McCaw and her husband, Yahn Bernier. The fundraiser was co-hosted by Microsoft President Brad Smith, and 50 people attended who’d paid $5,000 or more (with hosts contributing up to $50,000).

This weekend’s fundraiser is hosted by Melissa and Peter Evans, according to a post from the Northwest Progressive Institute .

It’s unclear where the reception will be. The minimum cost to attend the reception is $6,600. Couples that give $12,500 will get a photo with Harris. For $100,000, people can be named co-hosts of the event.

Beyond Harris’ visit, like most summer weekends, there will be just enough travel turbulence in Seattle to make a bit of planning worthwhile.

Sound Transit’s 1 Line light rail will alternate on a single track through Columbia City Station while workers repair platform tiles. This will reduce service from the usual 10 minutes between trains to 20-minute intervals between Stadium Station and SeaTac/Airport Station all day Saturday and Sunday.

Angle Lake Station will close all day Saturday and until 10 a.m. Sunday while electric wiring is installed south of the station. The power supply will allow extra trains to be stored there overnight for about 1½ years starting Aug. 30, when four new stations open between Northgate and Lynnwood, until the 2 Line’s Interstate 90 tracks are done and trains can park overnight in Bellevue. This weekend, passengers can take an A Line bus on International Boulevard between SeaTac and Angle Lake stations.

Also this weekend, beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, multiple roads and ramps to Highway 520 will be closed in the Montlake area. They include both directions of Montlake Boulevard between East Louisa Street and East Hamlin Street, East Roanoke Street in both directions between East Louisa Street and East Montlake Place, Lake Washington Boulevard both ways between Montlake Boulevard and East Foster Island Road, all Montlake Boulevard ramps and all Lake Washington Boulevard ramps to and from Highway 520. This work will conclude 5 a.m. Monday.

A trio of Seattle Mariners baseball games against the Los Angeles Angels will add car and transit trips before the opening pitch at 7:10 p.m. Friday, 4:15 p.m. Saturday and 1:10 p.m. Sunday. Sounder commuter trains Sunday will bring fans both north and south of King Street Station. Full schedules are at soundtransit.org .
