How far is Kentucky from Texas driving?
My parents and I are planning a road trip through the southwest, and we wanted to stop by my family in Kentucky. I’m fine doing it, but it seems like a pretty big detour. How long does it take to get to Kentucky from Texas driving?

The road from
Texas
to Kentucky takes about 15 hours to drive without any traffic. Once you consider the possibility of road obstructions, accidents, and other traffic-inducing incidents, the trip could easily become much longer.Of course, that doesn’t mean it can’t be done! While a 15-hour drive sounds a little intimidating, you could easily break it into a three day trip of driving five hours a day. That may seem like a detour on a bigger trip, but planning stops in interesting places could make it a fun side trip!
Keep in mind that road trips are more about the drive than the final destination. So planning frequent stops at local restaurants and sites as well as tourist destinations can turn a long drive into a valuable experience. But that kind of trip takes preparation.
Aside from planning your food, activities, and music, you’ll also need to take care of practical concerns, like your car’s condition. Before starting your trip make sure that your tires are full, your fluids are topped off, and your battery is in good condition. Finally, use the
