What is the best route from Houston to Memphis?

My friend invited me to a basketball game in Memphis and I’ll be driving up there soon to go. What’s the best way to get there from Houston and how long should I expect the drive to be?

There’s nothing quite like spending time with friends! Here is a look at the best route from Houston to Memphis.
In total, the drive
from Houston
to Memphis should only take you about nine or ten hours. The trip can take a lot longer depending on the traffic conditions and the route you take.
To get to Memphis you should:
  • Head North on I-69 until you reach Highway 59
  • Remain on Highway 59 until Texarkana, then get on I-30
  • Take I-30 until you reach Little Rock and then make your way to I-40
  • Stay on I-40 west until you reach Memphis
While you’re
in Memphis
, you should be sure to enjoy everything the city has to offer. The Memphis Zoo is regarded as one of the best in the country. Those interested in the historic aspect of the city should consider a walk down Beagle Street.
