Have another run to Phoenix and thought about taking a different route from Hagerstown, Md. How is the ride if I take I68 to I79N to I70W. Take I70 to Kansas City to I35S to I40W across to I17S? How is this route compared to I81 to I40 to I17? Just figured a change of scenery would be nice. According to Google it’s roughly same mileage and time. Seems like it’s more open road driving. Any thoughts?
New Run to Phoenix, AZ.

Because I-35 south at Emporia, KS is toll road. Stay on 50, it's a nice ride. Except for 70 through Indiana, (unless they've repaired a lot) it's the fastest route, but if you want to avoid tolls, you'll stick to the US-50 to US-54 to Tucumcari, NM. Same time, less miles, and except for the hills on 70 going through 79 to 70 it's a smooth ride.Lav-25 Thanks this. -

Knoxville, Nashville, Memphis, Little Rock, OKC vs Columbus, Indianapolis, St Louis, KC, OKC.
Pick your poison ... Indianapolis/Columbus major construction. KC and St Louis are major metros. Nashville is biggest metro on 40 and you can bypass it.CAXPT Thanks this. -
