Hello, what is the best way from the Central US (Iowa) to southern California?
Should I go through Colorado/Utah/Nevada/California?
Or should I go through Iowa/Kansas/New Mexico/Arizona/California?
I realize there are more pros in going the Colorado route, because of Denver and Las Vegas. However, I just want to go the safest and easiest route to my destination.
Here are two cons I can think of. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Colorado route: I am told it is mountainous (steep cliffs, dangerous bends). I have never been to Colorado, but I have been through the mountains and didn't feel very comfortable. Is it really dangerous? Going the main route, could I really fall off a steep cliff?
New Mexico route: I am told in the summer the temperatures reach upwards of 127 degrees. Even the best air conditioner can't keep a car cool and since I am driving with a pet, that wouldn't be suitable.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jessica
