fenderfour Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Mapquest tells me the drive to Yosemite from Seattle is about 15 hours. How accurate is this? I'm planning trip out there summer '06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 That seems a bit quick to me, but if you don't hit any traffic along the way (Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and Sacramento are potential bottlenecks) drive faster than the speed limit, never stop for gas or food, and don't have to pull over to nap, you might make it. It generally has taken me about 17-18 hours with stops and a nap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyHarry Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Cause he's going for the record Seattle to Seattle speed ascent of El Cap. Official timers and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderfour Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Speed climbing records are now measured door-to-door. Didn't you know that? Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 That's about right. It takes 21 hours from Seattle to Laguna Beach. It takes 7 hours from Yosemite to Laguna Beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 It's a grade IV, can be done in a day by a strong team, but some parties may bivouac. Getting more specific would require more information about equipment, experience, ethics, and attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 With the right balance of drugs and booze, teamwork, and a smart plan, I think they can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyHarry Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I disagree. Hydration is very important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimL Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 15 hours is about right. Give or take an our for traffic. If your making good time you can make it in 13 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
