Congratulations on your new job and taking a big step forward in your career! It’s a good thing you’re planning, too, because a drive from New York to Colorado will cross more than 1,700 miles and take up to 30 hours. Of course, the travel time will depend on which city you’re going to in Colorado:
  • NYC to Denver: 26 hours
  • NYC to Grand Junction: 30 hours
  • NYC to Colorado Springs: 27 hours
For long trips like this, you’ll want to do a few things to make the drive more manageable:
  • Spread it out—while you can make the drive in a single go, you’ll have a much easier time (and be far safer) by splitting the trip over two or three days
  • Consider hiring professionals—driving a large moving truck can be nerve wracking if you’ve never done it before, and having someone else deal with your furniture will allow you to focus on getting yourself out West
  • Take plenty of breaks—drowsy/
    distracted driving
    is a danger, so take the time to rest and think about something other than driving for awhile
There you go—with these tips in hand, you should have no problem
