What's the best driving route from New York to Denver?

My son is going to the University of Denver, but we need to drive to move all of his stuff into the dorms. We flew to Denver when we toured the school, so we’ve never actually driven there before. What’s the best route from New York to Denver?

The University of Denver is a great school in an even cooler city! If you’ve never driven from
New York
to
Denver
, it’s quite the long haul, lasting 26 hours and covering nearly 1,800 miles—if you’re up for the challenge, here’s the best driving route from New York to Denver:
  • Take I-80 out of New York.
  • Continue on I-80/I-90 all the way to Indiana.
  • Take exit 21 for I-94/I-294/I-80.
  • Continue on I-80 all the way to Nebraska
  • Merge onto I-76 East until you reach Denver.
Since you’re going to cover over 3,500 miles round-trip between New York and Denver, adding
towing and labor coverage
to your car insurance policy is probably a smart move. Use the
