Best Answer

A drive from Denver to San Francisco would give you an intriguing look at the topography of the American West. Probably freeway 80 would be your best route.

Your first experience would be the tall mountains of Colorado and Utah. Denver is known as the Mile High City, so it is near the mountains as you leave the plains. The Rocky Mountains are an impressive sight.

As you approach Salt Lake, it is easy to imagine how the early Mormon pioneers saw the fertile and well watered valleys of the region as a hospitable place. Mountains, grasslands, and desert are all part of the experience of driving across the West. Mountains block the cloud patterns.

You will find Nevada mostly dry and arid, rangeland for cattle or deserts, and then, approaching California, you will see the high Sierra Nevada Mountains. You might enjoy a stop, after Reno, at Lake Tahoe, one of the larger freshwater lakes in the U.S., known for its depth and its blue color.

As you ride down the west side of the Sierra towards San Francisco, you will pass through the great Central Valley of California, around Sacramento. This is one of the most fertile and productive agricultural areas in the world.

Finally, San Francisco appears after a rolling grass-and-oak-covered range of low coastal mountains.

Spring and autumn are lovely times to make this trip. Summer can be hot and winter can be snowy, requiring chains and allowance for storms.
