    Always give yourself some extra time, so when the unexpected happens you got time to deal with it.

    I trip plan using around 550 miles/day.
    Usually always do better than that but if you base it against that - you have EXTRA time in most cases..

    Mountains, traffic, accidents, possible break down and construction have to be factored in.

    truckmiles.com shows the miles as 1361 they are the same as pc miler miles wise. if you can average 60 mph you are looking a full two day run lots of luck

    Hopefully you're in for a nice smooth drive Sammy.Considering the month I don't think you'll have any snow.Those mountains in Utah are'nt bad compared to Colorado.But there's that strong wind in WY that may slow you down a bit.
