Anyone ever driven from WA to CO to hunt? Looks like 17 hours and could be done in one day of driving hard.

I have tag in GMU 70 for Sept 12 - 20. Planning on driving over.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I'd start about 3 in the morn and drive hard. You can do it in a day. Balls to the wall, no stops.

five hour energy's chased with red bull outta do it. if you double your speed you'll get there twice as quick . No really I suggest taking two days and enjoying the whole trip , be fresh when you get there. good luck .

I've done that one a couple of times. I like to stay overnight in Ogden UT. then get into Colorado mid day the next day. One night in a Super 8 motel is a heck of a lot cheaper than falling a sleep at the wheel on the highway

I drove from Dolores to Colfax, Wa in one day last year. It wasn't too bad. I left at 2:30 a.m. and made it home by 6 p.m. The trip down is always easier as you are excited for the hunt! Good luck, I will be heading down for the 3rd rifle season, but I have a little 8 day stop planned south of Boise in a little piece of heaven called unit 45.

Let me bask in my glory for awhile.......it will probably be tag soup as usual, anyway.

We drove it in 15.00 hrs...nonstop with three drivers pulling a 22' trailer and haulin arss. We went into Durango in the sw corner of the state.

Did you really drive from camas to durango in 15 hrs?

zackmioli · « **Reply #14 on:** July 08, 2009, 08:27:49 AM »

thats a long ass drive. doing it by yourself? get a buddy to tag along and tag team the drive.

elksnout · « **Reply #15 on:** July 08, 2009, 07:43:15 PM »

Yep. Dodge diesel with three drivers. One guy would drive until he was too tired, then pull over in a rest stop for a pee break and another would slide behind the wheel.
