What's the best route from Los Angeles to New York?

I live in Los Angeles, but I’ve always wanted to see the Big Apple. Instead of flying, I thought I’d drive for an epic road trip experience. What’s the best way to get from Los Angeles to New York?

Driving from
Los Angeles
to
New York City
is one of the most epic road trips you can take. Get ready for a long haul! Here’s the best route from Los Angeles to New York:
  • Take I-10 East out of Los Angeles
  • Take exit 58A for I-15 North
  • Near Sulphurdale, Utah, take exit 132 for I-70 East
  • When you get to
    Denver
    , take exit 269B for I-76 East
  • I-76 East will merge into I-80 East just outside of Big Springs, Nebraska
  • Just south of Chicago, I-80 becomes I-94/I-90/I-80
  • Take exit 16 near
    Gary
    , Indiana to go from I-94 to I-90/I-80. Continue on I-90/I-80
  • Stay on I-80 when I-90 and I-80 split near
    Cleveland
  • I-80 will take you into New York!
Covering 2,800 miles, four time zones, 13 states, and 41 hours, this is about as long of a road trip as you can take in the U.S. As such, reviewing and updating your car insurance and finding the best rate on the
