What is too far? I drive everywhere with long days so I have everyone trained to put up with it but I find that if you are going on a two week vacation having a first day of 15hrs and a last day of 15hrs in the car to be okay. You just suck it up for the two long days and make sure that the rest of the days don't have much driving time. The key is to leave at about 4 am. Then everyone else can sleep for the first 4 hrs or so of the drive and take some breaks that aren't just gas stations.
The other option if driving 10 plus hours is out is to fly and drive but to me that is way more work. For most places in the Western US you can fly into Denver, Vegas, San Fran, or LA and rent a car and drive 3 hrs to where you would want to go. For example it is about 3.5hrs from San Fran to Lake Tahoe.
