Kansas city to salt lake city road trip

Q: How many days do you need to visit Salt Lake City?

Whether youve come to Salt Lake City to visit or are just flying into town to use it as a base, two days in Salt Lake City makes a perfect itinerary that will give you the highlights of the town.

I'd suggest you wait to decide on a route until just before your trip. Weather will be the primary consideration. All other things being equal, I'd favor the US-6 to I-70 route as by far the most scenic.

Regarding historical sites, Georgetown, Colorado is just 3-4 miles west of the junction of US-6 and I-70, was the first capitol of Colorado, has a well restored Victorian area, and is gorgeous in the Christmas season.

Just a little further east on I-70, off the Lookout Mountain exit, you'll find Buffalo Bill's grave site and a small museum dedicated to him. The museum is not as extensive as the one in Cody but is still interesting.
