I would follow I-80 across Wyoming to Cheyenne then south east from there it is flat land. It is actually pretty flat going across Wyoming but you are flying high. I would fly around 11500 to take advantage of the prevailing winds you can make real good ground speed across Wyoming. The other alternative is going south to the four corners region then east, but this is pretty rough terrain. What ever do not fly I-70 this time of year across Colorado as you really have to climb as the rockies are really high, there have been planes lost over there and never found. Wyoming I like as there are plenty of airports going across Evanston, Rock Springs, Rawlins, Laramie and Cheyenne. VORs all the way and like I said keep in sight of I-80 and you have one of the longest run ways in the country. What ever they decide remember to get current weather and flight following good folks out here that will talk to you GA types. I am originally from Nebraska so I have made this trek many times.
