What's the best route from Houston to Denver?

I’m a huge fan of the Houston Rockets and I’ve also never been to Denver. To hit two birds with one stone, I thought I’d drive from Houston to Denver to see the Rockets play the Nuggets. What’s the best driving route from Houston to Denver?

Rockets-Nuggets is a strong matchup to go see, especially when it means you get to tour a modern city like
Denver
. To hit the proverbial two birds with one stone, here’s the best route from Houston to Denver:
  • Hop on I-45 North out of Houston.
  • Take exit 247 for US-287 North.
  • Merge onto I-40 West just east of Amarillo.
  • Take exit 64 for TX-335.
  • Take the RM-1061/Tascosa Road exit.
  • Make a right onto US-385 North.
  • Continue on US-87 North.
  • In Raton, New Mexico, hop on I-25 North and ride it into the Mile High City.
Covering 1,000 miles and lasting 15 hours, this is a super long drive, so you may want to consider
towing and labor coverage
for some added peace of mind. Use the
