I'm doing something similar in June but heading to SF from Boston. Interned out there last summer (had never been west of Chicago) and now we're going back full-time but driving the whole way. We're taking the Northern route and seeing Niagara, Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Yellowstone, Salt Flats on the way over.

My only suggestion would be to spend some more time on the road if you want to lower cost. Not sure how often you've road-tripped but I find 10+ hours a day to be completely doable especially with other people in the car and in a car I like. If you're doing it alone you can just break the time up with meal stops, scenic overlooks etc. I drove from NC to Boston overnight in a UHAUL and only stopped for Starbucks so you can do better than 5 hrs for sure.

Be safe, have fun and report back with any tips when it's all done! I'll be hitting the road a few weeks after you.
