What's the best route from Denver to San Francisco?

I’m a huge Denver Nuggets fan. Fortunately, I have some extra PTO, so I’m going to head to San Francisco to see my beloved Nuggets take on the Warriors. I’m going to drive to save money—what’s the best driving route between Denver and San Francisco?
