What’s the best route from Denver to San Antonio?

I’m taking my two Canadian great-aunts on a road trip to San Antonio—what’s the best route from Denver to San Antonio?

Take your great-aunts on a barn-burning journey south from
Denver
, Colorado, to
San Antonio
, Texas via I-25 S, a drive of 14 hours and 10 minutes that covers 930 miles. It’s a long drive, so break it up into a few days so as not to overwhelm your great-aunts, eh?
Here are the highlights of a trip that will take you from Denver to San Antonio:
  • Hop onto to I-25 S towards
    Colorado Springs
    and make a stop at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, a mountainside conservation park that’s home to more than 700 animals, including the world’s largest giraffe herd.
  • Keep heading south before stopping in
    Pueblo
    , Colorado, to stretch your legs at the Arkansas Riverwalk. It features a promenade, boat rides, concerts, and other family-friendly activities.
  • Barrel south into
    New Mexico
    , turning onto US-87 S. Be sure to stop at Capulin Volcano National Monument, for hikes around the base and the crater of this dormant volcano.
  • Roar into North Texas and pay a visit to Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, where your great aunts will no doubt be flabbergasted by this kooky public art installation featuring half-buried Cadillacs covered in bright graffiti.
  • Drive south on I-27 and stop in Lubbock, home of the late rock’n’roller Buddy Holly, where you can visit the Buddy Holly Center. Also, don’t miss out on an out-of-this-world experience at the Moody Planetarium.
  • Go from US-84 S to US-83 S before hitting I-10 S and stop in
    Fredericksburg
    , TX at the Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, featuring a 425 ft pink granite monolith.
  • Make your final descent into San Antonio along I-10, and take your great-aunts on a Riverwalk Tour.
