What’s the best driving route from Minneapolis to Denver?

I’m headed to see some friends in Denver this summer and am hoping that the drive from Minneapolis won’t be too tedious. What’s the best driving route from Minneapolis to Denver?

There are a few different options to choose from for routes, but any which way you go there’s going to be a lot of cows and a lot of corn.
That being said, it looks like the best driving route from
Minneapolis
to
Denver
is via I-35 South, I-80 West, then finally I-76 West.
I-35 will take you south to
Des Moines
, where you’ll pick up the I-80 and head west. Stay the course until you get to
Colorado
, where the I-76 will take you into Denver.
This will be about a 950 mile and 14-hour drive, so be sure you take plenty of breaks and stay alert. Before you head out, make sure that your
car insurance
is road trip ready with a quick check up from super app

It takes only a few minutes to download and use, and it’ll ensure you’re getting the coverage you need at an
unbelievable price
.
The typical Jerry user saves over $800 a year!
