What’s the best driving route from Minneapolis to Los Angeles?

I’m currently in Minneapolis and will be driving to LA for a friend’s bridal shower in a few weeks. I have two weeks off and would love to take advantage of my vacation and explore the cities en route. What’s the best way to get there?

The drive from
Minnesota
to
California
is one of the best ways to see the range of landscapes across America, and while it may seem long, there are several interesting and beautiful stops that you can’t see when you fly. The best route to get between the two cities is via I-15 S, covering 1,892 miles over roughly 28 hours.
Along the way, you’ll pass through several great cities:
Here are some of the best stops to make on your drive:
  • Falls Park
  • Downtown Sioux Falls (grab a macaron at CH Patisserie)
  • Mount Rushmore
  • Devil’s Tower
  • The Needles
  • Crazy Horse Memorial
  • Custer
  • Hot Springs
  • Port Casper
  • Salt Lake Temple
  • Sugar House
  • Zion National Park
  • Sunset Strip
  • Hoover Dam
  • Lake Mead
