Summer advice from social media for fellow travelers . . .
The roughly 8-hour, 600-mile sprint from Kansas City to Denver across I-70 is notorious for putting drivers into a sensory coma.
The Infinite Flatness: You are navigating the High Plains, which means the landscape stretches out before you as an endless, unrelenting grid of Kansas farmland. Trees become scarce, hills vanish, and the road is often a perfectly straight line to the horizon. It’s essentially eight straight hours of staring at a beige canvas.
The "Kansarado" Mirage: The psychological torture doesn't end the second you cross into Colorado. Eastern Colorado looks exactly like western Kansas. Just when you think you've finally conquered the plains, you realize you have another two hours of the exact same scenery before the Rockies finally decide to show up.A Monotonous Menu of Sights: Your visual entertainment is largely limited to towering wind farms, massive cow feedlots, endless rows of corn, and maybe a giant roadside statue of the world's largest something-or-another to break the monotony.
Relentless Gusts & Highway Droning: The heavy wind across the flat plains will aggressively shove your car around, forcing you to white-knuckle the steering wheel while listening to the hypnotic, numbing hum of semi-trucks cruising past.
