Suggested Route - Colorado Springs to Chicagoland

[Susan Dawn]

Planning a trip with our 37' Class A and our toad car from Colorado Springs to Chicagoland.  Google says take 25 thru Denver to 80.  Am aware of the tolls on the 470 bypass around Denver but am thinking I could take 25 straight thru Denver to 80.  Other option is to take 24 from Colorado Springs to 70 all the way.
Thoughts?
Thanks RV Community!

I would take I-25 to I-76 (a few miles north of downtown Denver), which angles northeast, then pick up I-80 well east of Sidney, NE. That would save a lot of miles.

Thanks Larry!  Looks like the best way to go!

Happy Trails!

I came the other direction, from I-70 to I-25 via US24 a few years ago and it was a great route. Better than fighting the traffic through Denver however you still need to get to I-80. So your best route is probably I-76 to I-80 as has been suggested.
