Driving from Puyallup, WA to Little Rock, AR
Hello Travelers! I am flying to Seattle to collect my father's personal effects. I am renting a car and will be driving back to Little Rock, Arkansas. I have noticed that most sites suggest 2 different routes (both approximately the same length of time, save an hour or so). The I-90 route through eastern Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and then down through South Dakota, etc. The other route goes south through Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, etc. Which route should I take? Which route will be more scenic; therefore more enjoyable? I appreciate any and all feedback! Thanks!

If you're just looking for the more scenic or interesting drive, then I'd probably opt for the I-82/I-84/I-80/I-25/I-70/I-35/I-40 (more or less, with some connecting shortcuts and urban beltways). It just spends more time in more different interesting landscapes including the Columbia Plateau, Snake River Valley, Great Salt Lake area, Great Divide Basin, Laramie Mountains, Front Range, and Great Plains. You'll need four really full days at a minimum for the drive. With time for packing the car, a little sight seeing, unpacking in Little Rock, and accounting for time lost to time zone changes, plan on taking the rental for at least five days.
