There are several routes you can take....this route avoids the back roads but may not be the best route to take on Sat as there will be heavy traffic.  It is approximately a 2 hour 45 min drive from Independence.  However, please be aware there is limited entrances to the park so expect heavy delays on Sat! Last year it took me over an hour to get into the park from the freeway which was only 2 miles.
