Whew… we’ve covered a lot of territory. AI says you can drive across the U.S. “Cannonball Run” style in 25-28 hours, in 2-4 days with multiple drivers and minimal stops, or comfortably in 5-10 days if you include sleep, eating and sightseeing. We chose the comfortable pace – 8 days – and visited a lot of scenic places along the way.

Carlsbad Caverns National Park

Guadalupe Mountains National Park

White Sands National Park

Saguaro National Park

And… stayed at another wonderful Harvest Host – Rio Grande Winery in Las Cruces, NM.
