Every state that's not on the east coast or west coast.
So a Wisconsin drive is more boring than Florida? Connecticut is more beautiful than Utah? Delaware over Michigan? Rhode Island vs West Virginia? Georgia over Idaho? I'm just going to have to disagree with you right there.
The most boring drive in the US IMO is from Los Angeles to Phoenix.
I hate Ohio. It's boring (though the extreme southern and eastern parts of the state aren't bad). It's swarming with cops. It's perpetually under construction.
OKC to almost the Texas border is actually still rolling terrain. It's not even close to flat. But it's so wide open that the horizon gives the impression that it is flat. And when the wheat is sprouting it can be quite green. In July, after harvest it will be brown for sure, but nothing like on further west.
West Texas once you are on the cap rock is really flat but it least they grow things there so at times there is some greenery.
My vote goes to the Permian Basin.
I'd say I-20 from about Big Springs to Van Horn, Texas is about as bad as I've seen. Brush and mesquite with literally no cultivation. No trees. There is even a town called NoTrees, Tx northwest of Odessa. Great sunrises and sunsets at times on that stretch though.
I agree with this. Add to the eyesores: thousands (millions?) of plastic bags entangled in the little vegetation that DOES exist (puny, dry shrubs) makes it look apocalyptic. The worst thing about driving across TX is that the ugly terrain seems to go on FOREVER.
OK on I-35 is ugly as sin.
Both Dakotas have their moments, but like KS they also have beautiful hilly areas. The badlands and Black Hills are gorgeous.
Amazingly enough, it doesn't get much worse than eastern Colorado. I realize this isn't a major route, but north up US287/385 from Springfield to Julesburg is mind numbing. Certain times of the year it can be starkly beautiful, but in the fall/winter try and stay awake. My uncle used to sell tractors along that corridor and I went a few times. Don't know how he did it for 40 years.
