Done several road trips in the US but never across from Niagara to SAN Francisco. However, if it were me I would have a couple of days in Chicago and then fly to SFO. Will be one heck of a long trip any time of the year and although it could be done relatively easily I think a few overnights would be needed in places that you wouldn’t miss anyway.

Get the plane would be my advice but expect it to be more like a bus service than what we are used to. Think Ryanair and then a lot less quality than that!
