AZ 80 or 90 to Tombstone Territories RV Park

Will be driving westbound on I10. Headed to Tombstone Territories RV Park. I drove AZ 80 in the toad last year going south from Benson to Tombstone. I remember is went through a couple small towns/settlements and was a bit twisty and hilly. Was wondering if it would be faster to take AZ 90 south and AZ 82 east to Tombstone Territories. I know that AZ 80 south and then AZ 82 west is probably shorter.
  • Its about 50/50 , advantage if you take 90 is you can stop at Kartchner Caverns State Park. I like staying at Wells Fargo Rv , Downtown Tombstone on Allen Street, and close to the action.
  • Highway 80 is the way we'd go from I-10 westbound. The 'twists and hills' are minor - especially from someone coming from Colorado. :)
  • 90 south 82 east is much flatter and straighter than 80 south 82 west and would be faster. Mileage wise the routes are almost equal if driving westbound on I-10 because 80 runs southeast from I-10.
