What is the best route to drive from Michigan to Arizona?

What is the best way to drive from Michigan to Arizona? I love the mitten but the weather is *not* doing it for me. I need sunshine!

And sunshine you shall get! The best route from
Michigan
to
Arizona
covers about 1,900 miles and can take upwards of 30 hours behind the wheel. Your route may vary based on your specific origin and destination, but here’s the basic gist:
  • Make your way to I-94 W to exit Michigan.
  • Use I-294 W and I-80 W to transfer to I-55 S in
    Illinois
  • Continue into
    Missouri
    where I-55 S becomes I-44 W
  • Take the westbound John Kilpatrick Turnpike in
    Oklahoma City
    to transfer to I-40 W.
  • Take I-40 W into Arizona!
That’s a long drive, so make sure to plan some stops along the way! You should also consider adding
towing and labor coverage
to your
car insurance
policy for a little extra peace of mind.
