What’s the best route from Denver to Los Angeles?

I’m headed out to Los Angeles for work in a few weeks, and I want to have as short a drive as possible as I’ll be traveling alone. What’s the best route from Denver to Los Angeles?

It’s always good to have a co-pilot on a long trip, but if that’s not an option you’re wise to want to make the journey as efficiently as possible!
The best route from
Denver
to Los Angeles is via I-70 West and I-15 South. Stay on I-70 all the way out of
Colorado
until you pick up I-15 South near Sulphurdale,
Utah
. This will take you to the outskirts of the LA metro area, and where you’ll head next will depend on what part of LA you need to get to.
This route covers around 1,000 miles and will take you about 15 hours of driving time.
There’s no shortage of great things to see and do in the
Los Angeles
area, so hopefully you’ll get a chance to take a break from work and
explore
a bit!
