What’s the best route from California to Indiana?

I’m from Los Angeles and am going to college at the University of Indiana. I want to drive so I’ll have my car with me, but I’m not sure of the best route. What is it?

Talk about a road trip! The best route from California to
Indiana
will take you down multiple highways: I-15 N, I-40 E, I-44 E, I-70 E, and IN-59 S.
From the colorful deserts of the Southwest to the verdant forests of the Midwest, there will be a lot to see—you’ll need to split this drive over three or four days because it will take 30 hours.
Check out these awesome stops on your way to round out your road trip experience:
  • Meteor Crater (Winslow, AZ): This is the largest and best-preserved meteor crash site in the world.
  • Cadillac Ranch (Amarillo, TX): Bring a can of spray paint to add your own touch to this public art installation.
  • Meramec Caverns (Sullivan, MO): This 4.6-mile cave system stays around 58ºF all year round.
  • St. Louis Arch (St. Louis, MO): The world’s tallest arch is also known as The Gateway Arch for being the nation’s gateway to the west.
  • Kaskaskia Dragon (Vandalia, IL): There’s not much to this stop except the chance to get your photo taken with a dragon!
