What’s the best route to drive from Dallas to San Francisco?

I’m driving with a girlfriend to attend my best friend’s baby shower and we’re staying in the area for the week to tour around. What’s the best way to get from Dallas to San Francisco?

Sounds like a fun weekend! The best route to drive from
Dallas
to
San Francisco
takes roughly 26 hours following I-40 W. However, if you’re interested in hitting up the best cities along the way, you can take a short detour from Albuquerque through Tucson and Phoenix down to ** San Diego and Los Angeles** or from Albuquerque up to Las Vegas.
No one wants to be driving for 26 hours straight, so why not hit up the best stops along the way? Here are some great pitstops:
  • Albuquerque
    : Sandia Peak Tramway, Albuquerque’s Old Town, Albuquerque Museum of Art and History
  • Tucson
    : Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Mt. Lemmon Scenic Byway, Sabino Canyon, Saguaro National Park
  • Phoenix
    : Desert Botanical Garden, Old Town Scottsdale, Hall of Flame Fire Museum
  • San Diego
    : Balboa Park, Gaslamp Quarter, Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum, Seaport Village
  • Los Angeles
    : Rodeo Drive, Griffith Park and Observatory, Universal Studios Hollywood, The Getty Center
  • Las Vegas
    : The Strip, Paris Hotel and the Eiffel Tower, The Bellagio, Mirage Hotel
