Boston to Denver Road Trip Help

[Lifemagician]

The route laid out above is interesting and relatively scenic, especially in PA. However, there is considerable construction and congestion on I-81 in the vicinity of Wilkes Barre. A good way to get around that is not to go all the way to Scranton, but take I-380 to I-80, which is a much better run. It does not add much in distance but saves quite a bit in time.

Thanks everyone for the very timely and very detailed advice. I am on board with the idea of avoiding large cities, and I'm glad to hear that a 4 day timeline doesn't seem like it will be especially difficult for this trip. Buck, I like your idea of planned spontaneity - I'm going to take that to heart on this trip.

I'm going to spend some time tomorrow looking into all of the routes that you've suggested and checking out some lodging options, and I'm sure I'll be back on here with questions as they arise. Thanks again!
