Missouri to Estes Park, CO
My wife and I are making a trip to Estes Park, CO to see some family and to go to my sister's wedding. We plan on driving across Kansas via I70 and then I25 to Lyons and up Hwy 36 to Paradise RV Park...

If your in northern MO I would pick up highway 36 across Kansas....great road, little traffic and a lot of pioneer history.
If you want to miss Denver take highway 79 at Bennett, CO to highway 52 west at Keenesburg, CO to I 25. Good road there too.
We are from southern MO, we will head west through Springfield and go across towards Wichita, take hwy 96 to 125 north to I70 and are going to stop in Russell, KS for the night. Then get up the next morning and head to Estes. We don't have as much time going down as we do coming back. But I am going back thru Cheyenne, ScoBlo, North Platte, etc. to see some of my old stomping grounds. I have always wanted to show my wife where I grew up.
I will look into the Hwy 79, is it a good drive? We have a little more time on the second day to get to Estes, I wouldn't mind a short jaunt to miss Denver.
