What I’m budgeting
Planning allowance for one adult starting and ending in Seattle, using an existing car. Hotel allowances cover the room without assuming a roommate. No flights, vehicle rental or paid trip-planning service are included. Mountain trips assume the experience and equipment described below.
| Two hotel nights | $550 |
|---|---|
| Transport, parking and transit | $230 |
| Food and drink | $280 |
| Activities | $120 |
| Contingency | $250 |
| Total, including contingency | $1,430 |
| Room below the $2,400 cap | $970 |
These are planning estimates, not supplier quotes or a trip for sale. Lodging and ticket allowances include room for taxes and fees. Confirm 2027 prices before booking; change dates or scope if the total would exceed $2,400.
Before this becomes a booking
All allowances are in US dollars, including a buffer for Canadian-dollar purchases. Confirm entry documents, exchange costs and border travel time before booking.
