Wagon trains.
it was about 3,000 miles
Before the expansion of the US railroads, the best way for a traveler to move west of the Mississippi, was to become part of a wagon train heading west. They could also pay to be a passenger on a wagon train. The other way was the long ship route around the southern tip of South America. It would take months to reach California by doing that. Later as railroads continued to expand westward, train travel was often used.

The scout on a wagon train was responsible for exploring and navigating the route ahead to ensure the safety and efficiency of the journey. They would assess the terrain, identify potential hazards, and locate water sources and suitable camping spots. Scouts played a crucial role in guiding the wagon train, often riding ahead to report back on conditions and provide directions. Their efforts were essential for the success of long, arduous journeys across challenging landscapes.
You haven't told us where you are starting from or where you are going to. I will tell you that to travel 30 miles by wagon would take 2-3 days.
This depends on the authority that operates the train and the type of ticket. In the US, this can be hours to months, or even no expiration.
