What’s the best route from Seattle to Phoenix?

What route should I take to get from Seattle to Phoenix in one day? I’d like to make the trip in one day if possible.

Unfortunately, the best route from
Seattle
to
Phoenix
will definitely take more than one day considering that the drive time alone is close to 22 hours. You can make the trip more fun though, by taking time to stop along the following route:
  1. Spend the first day driving to Portland, Oregon, where you can stop for your first night on the road.
  2. Drive on to Sacramento, California. This will be a pretty high mileage day, so don’t be afraid to stop early and take two days to cover the distance!
  3. From Sacramento, it takes about six hours to reach Los Angeles. Spend the night in LA, or drive outside of the city to find something more affordable.
  4. From LA, it takes about five-and-a-half hours to drive to Phoenix, Arizona!
