Driving from Salt Lake to KC: take the 80 or the 70?
Hey kids.

I'm driving from Northern California to KC next week. I figure going through Northern Nevada to Salt Lake is the only real way to get halfway there, but from Salt lake, the map says it takes about the same time to go via the 80 through southern WY and then Nebraska, or turn south toward Denver and go the 70 through Kansas.

Have any of you done one or both of these routes? Which is better?

thanks

TE

All I know is this. The drive from Denver to KC is the most visually boring few hours I ever spent in my life.

Omaha to Denver was worse. 80 is in the platte river valley, and I think from Lincoln to a mile from the border you can't even see ANY hills. NE may not be anywhere near as flat as Kansas, but I-80 is boring. I believe both states have speed limits of 75, which is helpful.

Coming through NE you may actually see a tree or an actual town though.

Driving across southern wyoming is tremendously worse than Kansas. At least Kansas is green.

Yeah, much of Wyoming is similar to the setting of The Road Warrior.

Nothing is worse than driving any interstate in the south...

a billion miles of nothing but pine trees lining the interstate...

Dallas to Shreveport is or anything I-10 related from TX to FL...

At least in the plains states you can see further than the ditch on the side of the road.

I-10 is rather boring with the exception of Mobile and Escambia Bay.

The 18-mile Achafalaya Basin bridge is interesting.

And, yes, Dallas to Shreveport is terribly boring. Except during the summer when it's hot. Lots of road-side grass fires.

If the only choices are driving through Kansas or Nebraska? Antifreeze is the only option.

LOL No shit!

From Cali, I'd take 40 to OKC, then 35.

The 40 is too far south to go, it adds hours to the trip. If it were winter Id consider it.

Also, based on this recent news

http://www.imfromdenver.com/serial-s...e-in-colorado/


I'm thinking avoid Denver and just power through WY to Neb. and tough it out.

As long as you don't hit Denver during Rush Hour, it's a breeze
