Denver to Des Moines in April... Kansas vs. Nebraska

[andreatrib]

My 10 year old travel buddy (daughter) and I are making a cross country trip in April from San Diego to Chicago in April. I have been learning a great deal from this forum, so first of all... MANY THANKS! I'm sure I'll be posting for info on Bryce, Zion, Canyonlands, etc very soon but right now my decision tree brain can only handle looking one section I'm debating about...

I'm looking at the section between Denver and Des Moines (then next stop Iowa City), so I could use some advice on which route to take (Nebraska or Kansas). We are very flexible and would love to know what attractions might be had on these routes.

I-76 to I-80 Nebraska

I-70 to I-35 Kansas


Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
Andrea

Update... Hey, I just found info on this very topic on another post... http://www.roadtripamerica.com/forum...as-or-nebraska I'll read that one so if you already posted there it's covered!!
