Recommendation
If you're looking for efficiency and comfort, I recommend taking a flight with United Airlines or Delta Airlines. While it may cost a bit more compared to driving or bus travel, it saves time, and the experience can be much smoother. However, if you prefer scenic views and the flexibility to stop along the way, renting a car is the best option.
