Recommendation
If you are short on time and prefer a faster route, flying is highly recommended as you'll be covering three time zones in a matter of hours. However, if you're planning for an adventure and have the flexibility, consider the road trip option, which allows for sightseeing and stopping at various landmarks along the way.
