How far is the drive from Texas to Colorado?
The family and I are hoping to visit my parents in Colorado this summer for a small reunion. It’s been a while since I made the trip, so how far is the drive from Texas to Colorado?

Family reunions, no matter the size, are great ways to combine summer road trips with some much-needed family time! Just be sure to pack plenty of things to
keep the kids occupied
, because driving from Texas to Colorado can take as little as 3 hours or as much as 19 hours, depending on where you start and end your journey in each state.Here are the travel times for a few different routes:
- Dallas to Denver: 12 hours, 30 minutes
- Houston to Grand Junction: 18 hours, 50 minutes
- Amarillo to Colorado Springs: 5 hours, 45 minutes
Of course, you’ll want to plan for a long drive because of:
- Accidents—it’s almost impossible to plan for them, and a particularly bad accident can bring traffic to astand-stillfor hours
- Construction—though it’s important to repair and update the roads, construction zones will bottle-neck traffic and slow things down considerably
- Rest stops—on multi-hour drives, you’ll want to take a break to catch your breath and take care of your personal needs every so often
Hopefully, these tips will make for an enjoyable trip this summer with your family. Of course, you can always take the additional step of finding a more affordable car insurance policy to save money and keep your family safer at the same time.
