What’s the best route from Illinois to Colorado?
My family takes a vacation in Colorado every year, but I recently moved to Illinois. I still want to go on the trip, but I’m not sure how to get there! What’s the best route from Illinois to Colorado?
Liz Jenson · Updated on

The best route from
Illinois
to Colorado
is via I-80 W. The trip will require quite a bit of time depending on where you’re starting and ending. For example, driving from Chicago
to Denver
takes about 14 hours and 40 minutes of driving. You’ll probably want to spend at least one night on the road to break up the drive. One of the best places to stop along the way is
Omaha, Nebraska
. Omaha is a little under halfway between Illinois and Colorado, so it’s a good place to rest, eat a good meal, and have a good night’s sleep before you keep driving!Have you updated your
car insurance
since moving? If not, check out the Jerry
app to make sure you’re getting the best rates available in your new zip code. Just download the app and answer some quick questions to learn more about your options.View full answer
