What's the best route from DC to Denver?

I’m a massive ice hockey fan. This year, my beloved Capitals have to play the Avalanche and I’m pretty stoked about it. I thought about flying, but I have some extra PTO built up, so I thought I’d drive. What’s the best driving route from DC to Denver?

The Capitals don’t play the Avalanche all that often, so you’re in for a treat when the top powers of the Eastern and Western conferences collide. The drive is a bit long, covering *1,660 miles and lasting about 25 hours**, so splitting it up into three days each way is the best course of action. Here’s the best route from
DC
to
Denver
:
  • Hop on I-495 to get to I-270 West.
  • Continue on I-270 West until you reach exit 32 near Frederick, Maryland.
  • Take exit 32 for I-70 West.
  • Head west on I-68 near Hancock, Maryland.
  • Take exit 14B for US-40 West.
  • Merge onto I-70 West near Washington, Pennsylvania and take this interstate all the way into Denver.
Just being at the game is exciting enough. But what if you could turn average seats into center-ice bangers? That’s where
