What is the best route from New York to Phoenix?
I’m visiting my girlfriend’s family in Phoenix and since we’re bringing our dog with us, we’ll need to drive. Luckily our dog is pretty good in the car, but we still want to get her there as quickly as possible! What route should we take from New York to Phoenix?

If you’re driving with a dog, you may also want to stop more often to give your pup some rest. It might be fun to rent a campsite instead of a hotel room to give your dog some more time outside and space to run around. This might make the trip more fun for you, too!
Don’t forget that you’ll need to update your car insurance once you’ve settled in, too. Check out the
