Best driving route between Denver & Boston
 
Can someone give me an opinion on the best route to take from Denver to Boston at the end of May? Better to take the northern route with Interstate 80 or the southern route with I-70? It looks like they both converge fairly close to NY city. Just wondering if one is better than the other since I am more familiar with the I-70 route and have a place to stay one night in St. Louis. All opinions or comments appreciated. Please email directly to [email protected]

Take the Masspike west and connect to NY Thruway (all part of I-90). Just before Cleveland, cut down I-271 to I-71, and to I-70 in Columbus, and then I-70 all the way to Denver. This way, you bypass both NYC and Chicago and the worst traffic.

Don't forget to take the I-270 bypass that goes around Colmbus, and another I-270 bypass north of St. Louis.

Oops... Just do reverse for Denver to Boston.
