How many hours does driving from Houston to Los Angeles take?

I’ve always wanted to see Los Angeles, and I’m finally ready to take a trip there! I’m planning all the stops ahead of time, so I can make the most out of my vacation. But how many hours does it usually take to drive from Houston to Los Angeles?

Driving from Houston to Los Angeles is a big trip that takes about 22 hours to complete. That said, it may be best to spread your driving out over a number of days. While Los Angeles is a great place to visit, there are plenty of worthwhile stops along the way!
One of the most
common road trip mistakes
is scheduling too much driving each day. If you’re only focused on reaching your destination, you won’t enjoy the drive as much as you should. When possible, limit your driving to five or six hours a day.
Excessive driving can also lead to drowsiness or loss of focus, which are both common causes of accidents. So before you hit the road, use the
