I’m taking a road trip with a few of my best buddies, and we’re planning to head to Denver from Los Angeles. What’s the best route from Los Angeles to Denver if we drive?

That sounds like great fun—have a wonderful road trip! The best route to take from
Los Angeles
to
Denver
is to take I-15 N and I-70 E—totaling approximately 16 hours of driving time.
Here’s how to do it:
  • Merge onto US-101 S from Los Angeles via the ramp to I-10 E/I-5 S
  • Follow signs for I-10 E/San Bernardino and keep left for approximately 40 miles
  • Take exit 58A and merge onto I-15 N/Ontario Fwy (Toward Barstow/Las Vegas)
  • Stay on I-15 for approximately 462 miles
  • Take exit 132 for I-70 E toward Richfield/Denver
  • Continue onto I-70 E for about 492 miles
  • Take exit 261 for US-6 E/6th Avenue
  • Stay on US-6 E for eight miles
  • Take the exit onto I-25 N, then take exit 210A for US-40/US-287/Colfax Ave
  • Follow signs for downtown and enjoy your stay in Denver!
You’ll pass through
Las Vegas
,
Arizona
, and
Utah
, so be sure to stop and recharge on your 1,016-mile road trip! You’ll also want to make sure you have adequate coverage.
