What's the best road trip route from New York to Los Angeles?

I’m taking the next step in my acting career by moving from New York to Los Angeles. Since I’m packing up all my belongings, I have to drive to the West Coast. What’s the best route from New York to Los Angeles?

Congratulations on new beginnings all the way out in
California
! Here’s the best route from New York to Los Angeles:
  • Take I-80 West out of New York until you get to western Nebraska.
  • Merge onto I-76 West and take it into Denver.
  • Hop on I-70 West.
  • Take I-15 South near Sulphurdale, Utah.
  • Take exit 115A for I-210 and take it into Los Angeles.
Covering nearly 2,800 miles and 41 hours, this trip is best if done over about a week, so take your time. To stay safe on the road, use the
