What's the best driving route from Virginia to California?
I’m straight-up dying to see the Pacific Ocean. It’s in all of my favorite movies and television shows. The only problem is that I live in Virginia. Now that I have a little scratch, I’m going to road trip out there. What’s the best route from Virginia to California?

The Pacific Ocean is almost as beautiful on TV as it is in person, but a trip to
California
is definitely worth the effort. Your journey will cover over 2,600 miles one-way and take about 40 hours, so rest up. Here’s the best driving route from Virginia
to California:- Depending on where you live in Virginia, you may need to go north or south on I-81 or I-95, so do that first.
- Your ultimate goal is to hit exit 1B on I-81 near Dandridge, Tennessee, to get on I-40 West.
- Once you get on I-40 West, simply continue west until you reach the Golden State.
Even though you’ve saved up a little scratch, it never hurts to have a little extra. That’s where
