I'm going to cheat. NY Islanders to NJ Devils. Elmont, NY to Newark, NJ. Neither are on an interstate. The easiest way would be taking the Belt Parkway around Brooklyn then hopping on I-278 to cross the Verrazano-Narrows bridge, then I-95 north for an exit onto NJ-81 around the Newark Airport into downtown Newark where the Prudential Center is.
To take more interstates, the Cross Island Parkway is the Belt Parkway northbound into Queens, then get onto I-295 at the Throngs neck Bridge then I-95 to cross the Bronx onto the George Washington Bridge, past a bunch of landfills and petrochemical plants then onto I-280 into downtown Newark.
I think taking I-95 across the Bronx is worse than CA/NV mountain highways.
using your criteria, the clear answer would be Washington to Baltimore.
But I meant the pair which are poorly connect, without any fairly direct Interstate routing.
KC to Memphis, via Google, uses US-63, with no Interstate at all.
Why? I-95 isn't that bad, scenery-wise.
And the Baltimore-Washington Parkway is beautiful
(though I guess under the premises of this thread,
it doesn't count... not being an Interstate highway).
Sacramento Kings to LA Lakers. I5 is brutal and the San Joaquin Valley towns are mostly unpleasant, overgrown cowtowns. Once getting over the Grapevine though, it is exciting to see civilization and Magic Moutain as you get into the outskirts of the LA megapolis.
Have never actually driven across the Great Plains but I've never heard anything good about the drive.
Agree with Montclair that 5 in CA is an armpit.
That’s a really easy drive. I drove it 17 months ago on my way to the Vail valley. It’s cruise control the whole way until you hit the construction disaster in Denver and you could loop around using 225/25 to avoid it. I-70 is awful from Columbus to KC. It’s trivial between KC and Denver.
