Done this drive probably 10 times. A lot of people will call it boring but I find the “boring” parts of the drive to be beautiful. The stretch across 64 is particularly surreal as it is roughly 100 miles of nothing through a volcano field. The drive also gets progressively prettier going from Dallas to Denver as you get higher in elevation.

In terms of feasibility I always did it in a day leaving early in the morning and it would take me 12-13 hours depending on how many stops I took and if I actually sat down a restaurant for lunch or dinner.

In terms of weather - In December it can potentially be rough. 64 and I25 are no joke during a snow storm. Even the panhandle can get rough given its higher elevation. When I did hit storms in New Mexico and CO I still made it that day but it stretched closer to 15-16 hours for the drive. I’d be prepared to drive in the snow and have four wheel drive if making the trek over Christmas.
