Itinerary calculator FAQ

How does this trip-length calculator work?

It matches your day count and primary interest to a practical TripCali pacing template—with links to guides, not a fake AI dump of every landmark.

Can I do the whole state in a week?

Not well. A week is enough for one strong region plus a contrast day—or two cities with a transfer day. Use longer trips for coast arcs.

What if I have mixed interests?

Pick the primary focus that must succeed. Secondary interests become half-days, not second full itineraries.
