Roadtripping from NYC to Boulder, CO - sites to see along the way? [closed]
2
I am driving from NYC to Boulder, CO and have about 4-5 days to do the 27ish hour drive. Which route has more attractions along the lines of this list?
- natural sites, parks, features
- museums, breweries
- other famous spots I don't know about
I have two paths to take it seems, Route 80, the north route, and Route 70, the south route.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
- "Questions covering tasks normally performed by travel agents such as constructing travel and tour itineraries (including scheduling and budgeting) are off-topic. They are generally too specific to your personal preference, with many variables and possibilities, and are probably not helpful to others. See also The WANTA debate." – pnuts, Karlson, Michael Hampton

@pnuts it doesn't appear a conclusion was reached with that debate. This is a pretty common drive and thought someone may have done it who could easily offer some ideas. A travel agent is someone who I'd pay to book hotels, dining, and find specific sites. I'm handling room and board and the actual path of travel. This is not that question.

@pnuts Somewhat broad, but also quite helpful to anyone else down the line who has a similar trip. Opinions are helpful, but my question is moreso asking for enlightenment on things along those routes that fall into the buckets I've specified, which is more objective.

I'm afraid, but this Q should be closed for WANTA (which is a close-reason by itself so a conclusion was reached), too broad and primarily opinion-based. However see e.g. What is a good way to get list of sights for a road trip (e.g. for a roadtrip from Chicago to Niagara falls?)

I had to vote to close it for the reasons given, but I will say that I've driven nearly every mile of both those routes and I'd choose I-80 every time. You'll barely be out of New Jersey before you start hitting stuff you listed, such as Delaware Water Gap. Stop in the Amana Colonies in Iowa for good food and beer and a very unique community worth a look. And keep your eyes open.

Finally, brown or blue highway signs will list attractions of the sort that you appear to be looking for. So that's what you want to keep your eyes open for.
