Driving in USA vs Plane

For New York and Boston you could drive, or fly into New York and take a bus to Boston.

The other route would be longer to drive, and probably cost more by the time it was said and done than a plane ticket. But it's a beautiful drive with lots of unique places to see and I think you'd be missing a lot of great memories.

The Arizona-Vegas-SF-Portland is a superb drive with lots of great scenery, national and state parks. While Vegas and SF are also interesting. It is a fairly long drive with lots to see.

Washington DC is interesting with both the sights and the Smithsonian. The drive up to NY is not very far (well less than a day) pretty well built up all the way and few of the cities have any great interest. So a bit short to fly but of limited attraction to drive.

I really enjoyed Lake Tahoe, it was nice and fresh. I went when it was cold and it was really nice. Not sure if it's worth the detour but if you pass by definitely dip in.

Lake Tahoe is about 2-3 hours out of the way from OP's route

I drove from Vancouver to San Fran via the coast. It was very beautiful, and I think it was well worth it. The Norther part of California with the Redwoods was awesome.

The trip took me three days in total.

DC to NY can easily be done by car, bus or train.
You might wanna fly between the west coast stops tho

This itinerary is implicitly time-constrained since the lines are forces and the destinations don't flow.

The worst part about Niagara Falls is that there is any human object within a 1hr walk tarnishes the falls. The purpose-built tourist facilities (hotels, casinos, burger buffets, parking structures) are lowbrow enough to make you regret the stop. Get a jug of water, a loaf of bread and drive directly to the public park. Actively seek a rustic experience or avoid the site entirely. The natural beauty is glorious but the towns on both the Canadian and American sides are vile and a destination "X" is questionable.

The spots you picked for the most part are excellent driving, definitely recommend driving to Las Vegas at night, it's pretty fucking cool

San Francisco to Portland is also a awesome drive

I'm sure you're used to long drives in Australia
