The Convoy will follow the original route as closely as possible, i.e. the Lincoln Highway. The route crosses all or part of 11 states from Washington, D.C. to San Francisco, joining the Lincoln Highway at Gettysburg, PA. The route is nearly 3,300 miles (5,311 Kilometres) and begins on the lowlands of the Eastern Seaboard, traverses the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, travels the lush farmlands of the Midwest, crosses the high plains, dips into the Great Salt Lake Basin in Utah, crosses the Nevada Desert, climbs the Sierra Nevada and descends to Lake Tahoe, and ends in the splendor of California and the San Francisco Bay area. The Convoy will travel approximately 26 days across the country, with varying distances each day depending upon the terrain and services available, and will have rest/repair days built into the schedule.
