or audiobooks downloaded because driving from Michigan to Colorado will take between 13 and 27 hours depending on where you start and end your journey.Here are the travel times for some common routes:
- Detroit to Boulder: 18 hours, 45 minutes
- Grand Rapids to Denver: 17 hours
- Lansing to Colorado Springs: 18 hours, 35 minutes
Since you’ll be in a car for nearly an entire day, you’ll want to prepare well in advance by:
- Finding a co-pilot—along with breaking up the monotony, another person along for the ride will give you a chance to take a break from driving without needing to stop
- Planning for breaks—between eating, sleeping, and stretching your legs, you’ll want to plan for frequent breaks to stay in a fit condition for driving
- Breaking the trip up—unless you need to get to your destination in record time, splitting the drive over two days will help keep your spirit up and prevent you from overburdening yourself
Long drives—even 20-hour ones—are certainly manageable, especially if you follow the advice just mentioned. As an added bit of wisdom, you should see if you can find a car insurance policy with lower rates and more coverage through
