You will find yourself cruising along major interstates for the bulk of the trip, specifically settling into a rhythm during the longest uninterrupted stretch of 34.5 miles on I-70. As you transition between the interstate portions and the final leg on Barton Road, the driving environment shifts from fast-paced highway travel to more localized conditions.
