What's the best route - I70 or I80 - traveling from OHIO to UTAH?

[anelehlind]

Hello All -

I am finally packing up and getting out of Cincinnati, Ohio after living here all my life; and I'm moving to Park City, Utah. Talk about a dream come true! I'm making the road trip across country and have been researching the best route to take and I just can't find what I'm looking for; so I'm reaching out to y'all for some help/advice.

Here's what's going on... So the mother hen and I are making this road trip together. How precious, I know :) Luckily, she's a pretty cool cat. Anywho, we are departing on a Wednesday morning and are hoping to arrive early/mid afternoon Friday. According to MapQuest, the estimated drive time from Cincinnati to Park City is 24 hours, and that's taking I80. However, the mother and I would like to make the most of this experience - ie, scenic routes, cool/historic places to stop and see, etc. Therefore, I'm thinking I70 might be the best way to go, even though the drive will be longer?...

So here's where I could use some help...

- Any recommendations on which route is better for a "cooler," more unique road trip experience?
- Does anyone know what the time difference is driving 80 vs. 70 from Cincinnati to Park City, UT?
- Any recommendations on places to stop and see along the way? (I entered my route in map wizard, but it always takes me I80)
- Any other recommendations/thoughts/tips/suggestions/etc.?

Thanks so much for looking. I greatly appreciate any help/advice you can provide!

peace.
