I don't remember ever checking the miles or time on the different routes. Not sure that time wise it takes any longer, to stay south on I 10, hugging the Gulf Coast before starting the angle up toward Colorado Springs. Our first night is spent at the Tallahassee RV Park, 2nd night at Poche's RV and fish camp in Breaux Bridge, LA, third night in Terrell TX, 4th at the Amarillo RV Ranch RV park, and depending on how long a day we want driving out of there, we may spend the next at Garden of the God's RV in the Springs or we may stop in Raton NM or Trinadad CO.
My wife grew up in the Springs and Woodland Park, so we often will spend a week in the area while she visits friends. Sometimes on the way north and other times on the way south bound in the fall. Most of our Alaska trips run between 12,000 and 16,000 miles for the round trip, We don't tend to make too many tourist stops on our way to the north country. We will log places we wish to visit in the future. These we will stop to see on our way to Colorado on alternate summers. The last Colorado trip was via St Louis, Mount Rushmore, Devils Tower, Wind Cave, Yellowstone, Vernal Utah and then to Western Colorado for a couple of months. Then to Capital Reef NP and back to Stuart Florida.
