Chris,

A road trip often has a starting location -- we know your ending destination to be Huron -- Where are you starting from?

I am starting from Eagan Minnesota. Is there any fastest and shortest routes to Huron South Dakota.
Thanks,
Chris Flynn

Chris,

As you probably know, this is about a six hour trip, covering about 293 miles. For driving directions of the fastest route, we suggest you use the Mappoint on-line mapping solution: http://mappoint.msn.com and click on Directions and enter Eagan to Huron. It is pretty much a straight shot, I took a quick look at the conditions -- there is no scheduled (major) road construction on any section of that route.

There are two ways I'd recommend. Take US 212 from the Twin Cities to MN 23 at Granite Falls through Marshall and then US 14 through Brookings to Huron.
You could also take US 169 towards Mankato, cut across on MN 99 at St. Peter to US 14 at New Ulm. That might be a little bit faster since 169 is an expressway (just watch for troopers.. anything over 75 will get you a ticket... trust me I know first hand (twice!).

So are you heading to the SD State Fair.. or is there another reason you're going to Huron?
