We have taken both I-70 and I-80 across USA to both East and West Coast (or as far as highway signage permits). Seemed like 80 across Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska had more truck traffic than I-70 in summer. 70 West of Denver seemed much more difficult and steep than -I-80 up in WY. Salt Lake City is right on 80 and worth a stop. Since I-70 more less ends at I-15, most would end up driving North to Salt Lake anyway.

In winter we take I-40 to CA, and it is an easy almost flat trip compared to I-70. We do get a little bored with the view in NM, but some would say the same about Western Kansas where even a tree is unusual in the landscape.
