What is the best route from Texas to Seattle?

My boyfriend and I are planning a road trip from Texas to Seattle since neither of us has ever traveled that far north. What route should we take to get there?

There is nothing like a road trip to help you explore the United States! Finding the best route from Texas to Seattle is no easy task, as all in all, it will take at least 30 hours of driving time to get there. But if you carefully plan out stops along the way, you’ll have a lot of fun.
The majority of people living in Texas will have to start driving west to get their trip started. Once you’ve reached the state’s border with
New Mexico
, you should be ready to begin. The states you’ll drive through on this route include:
  • New Mexico
  • Colorado
  • Utah
  • Idaho
  • Oregon
  • Washington
Utah is roughly the halfway point of the trip, and also has plenty of fun things for you to stop and enjoy. Outdoorsy types should head to Moab and frequent one of the many national or state parks in the area, while city-oriented people can stop on the way through
Salt Lake City
.
If you’re planning a long road trip like Texas to Seattle, you need to make sure your car is properly insured.
