AZ-64 & US-180S

Question

I have been asked to help setup a trip to the Grand Canyon (Trailer Village in Grand Canyon) and then on to Phoenix. We will be going in September.

How is AZ-64 out of Williams? Is it a good road, is there much of a climb?

US-180S out of the Grand Canyon to either Williams or Flagstaff. Which would be the best way to go? Is this road a good one?

This is our first trip to the Canyon in our motorhome. Our last trip was in a covered wagon, so was not too worried about the roads.

Thanks for any information.

Both are good 2 lane secondary roads with no major grades. 180 is the more scenic of the two, going through pine and aspen forest, with 180 being the shorter route to Flagstaff.

AZ64 to I-40 to Flagstaff is 10 miles further than AZ64 to 180 but a faster route.  AZ64 is very straight and fairly level.  I-40 in interstate.  Highway 180 is much more scenic as it passes through forest areas.  AZ-64 is high grasslands and doesn't reach forests until Williams.  Neither route has any steep or long grades.
