Hi,

Leaving for Santa Rosa, Ca in four weeks. I'm traveling solo, so I don't really want to go through Wyoming (boring). Is there a better route that will give some scenery?

It appears to me that you can get on I-70 in Kansas City and get all the way through Colorado, then when 70 ends in Utah go up to Salt Lake City then I-80 all the way to the Bay Area. Depending on your definition of "boring" it's pretty hard to avoid some of it getting to the west coast from Missouri. West out of SLC is flat until Reno so unless you'd like to take a detour through Idaho and Oregon you may have to suffer for a day.

classic.mapquest.com Denver maybe up to Estes Park

stanleyhotel.com if Time in not and/orn www.gobreck.com

right off the superslab Grand Junction Moab Arches NP SLC

up to Tahoe or down to St George/ZION Vegas death valley

Lone Pine yosemite.com Santa Rosa for more neat stops

Very entertaining route from personal experience

Happy Planning!

The problem for us is having so little to go on, how long do you have for the drive and just what defines "boring"? And how far off the direct route are you willing to go to get around it?
