What is the most boring stretch of road in America? My vote: the stretch between

I70 in Kansas - like all of Kansas

Great choice until you get to the Eastern sliver of Kansas. Between Las Vegas

Good call on that stretch of road as well

I've driven that maybe 10 times in the past 2 years and I hadn't even thought

If you think that’s bad then don’t take the 80 thru Nebraska.

Highway 191 from Rock Springs to about Pinedale. Closer to rock springs the worst.

Come on man. Youre paralleling the Green and you have views of the Wind River

Backcountry

6/26/20 2:44pm

Yeah, the true loser is I-80 from Rock Springs to Rawlins. It’s pretty bad when the highlight is Wamsutter

After Farson it gradually gets better. Rock Springs to Farson though is how I picture Hell.

cougfanblue

6/26/20 3:56pm

But great ice cream in Farson

cougfanblue

6/26/20 6:48pm

Rock Springs to Rawlins is way worse

I agree completely. I lived in the Bay Area and in Sandy for twenty years and

Well you might as well. There's literally nothing there. I'm driving it

6/26/20 2:43pm

That stretch isn't near as bad as Evanston to Laramie.

6/26/20 2:42pm

You arent giving that country credit. There is a lot of very cool stuff out

Backcountry

6/26/20 2:43pm

Like?

Get off I-80. Get up in the hills.

I drove from San Antonio to Gilbert, AZ twice. West NM is physically depressing

West Texas

This is the correct answer. Its a hellscape.

Backcountry

6/26/20 2:51pm

An't no hell road - like a West Texas hell road.

ClackamasCoug

6/26/20 3:32pm

Agreed. The San Antonio to California drive is awful.

LiveCoug

6/26/20 2:52pm

At least the speed limit out there is 80. Would be unbearable @ 65

Tare

6/26/20 3:30pm

Back in the 70’s it was 55.

Soy Celeste

6/28/20 2:20pm

Tough to get a covered wagon going much faster than that, right?

Tare

6/28/20 2:26pm

Yep. Took the highway out of Hobbs to Dallas and it was awful

Lip Gallagher

6/26/20 3:18pm

Yup, I drive between Tucson & San Antonio often

SirGus

Wyoming, Nebraska, West Texas. The 401 across Ontario.

6/26/20 2:48pm

Easy. 1300 East Between S. Temple and 9th

Why do you say that stretch? Bunch of residences, some restaurants, and East High School.

Assuming you are referring to the University of Utah. I don't think there is a single campus building that is on 1300E

I once drove from Vegas to Elko, absolutely terrible

USMCdad

6/26/20 2:52pm

I dunno - I kind of like Nevada nowhere roads. I like to drive fast.

ClackamasCoug

6/26/20 3:34pm

I dont get it. Thats cool country

Backcountry

6/26/20 4:24pm

That is crazy. The Ruby’s and multiple desert landscapes are in abundance

idacoug

6/28/20 4:51pm

I must have slept through that part

USMCdad

6/29/20 10:13am

It's pretty bad. Although I-70 through Kansas is incredibly boring too.

chilango

6/26/20 2:59pm

Most of I-80 between Sacramento and the Mississippi River

TheHop

6/26/20 3:05pm

? From Sacramento to Reno you have a big chunk of beautiful forest and mountains

LiveCoug

6/26/20 3:13pm

That is why I said, "Most"....The Sierra Nevadas are gorgeous.....

TheHop

6/26/20 5:23pm

Same can be said about pretty much every stretch of road in Nevada.

Nuke

6/26/20 3:06pm

The road from San Diego to Honolulu.

I have not found an exciting part of Highway 50 yet.

crazY

6/26/20 3:22pm

US 50 from Sacramento to Carson City is beautiful

MapCoug

6/26/20 3:27pm

I haven't been on that stretch.

crazY

That's like eating a hamburger bun and calling it a burger. 😃

6/26/20 3:56pm

Highway 95 North of Winnemucca until you reach Idaho.

MenloCougar

6/26/20 3:25pm

Bend OR to Boise ID is pretty bad

MapCoug

6/26/20 3:26pm

Not sure about the rest of the US, but 9 miles west of Green River to the Colorado/Utah border is painful for me. That

I-40 Amarillo, TX to Albuquerque, NM

Cobra Cougar

6/26/20 4:01pm

Eastern NM is horrid. I hurt for anybody living in Clovis, Portales, etc.

cougfanblue

6/26/20 6:51pm

Holbrook AZ to Bluff UT

zerigke

6/28/20 2:54pm

Most of I-15 North of Great Falls, MT to the border.
