We still Make Great time on RT 36 as it's 60 miles shorter, to Denver than I-70, and Avoids Big Cities/Rush Hours, has much less Traffic and Trucks - It is still a Good Option with very well placed Wal*Mart's along the way:)
JMHO,
For the last 50 years we make a trip to CO and farther west every few years from central IL. We almost always use US 36 across. We did take I-70 this past August simply because we hadn't been on it for a while. US 36 is shorter by a few miles, better scenery, and slower paced but it's not quicker than I-70.
