You do not want to take the Yarnell Hill cutoff!!!
If Hwy 89 out of Congress and beyond Kirkland Jct. is called Yarnell Hill cutoff, agreed, you do not want to take it.
Instead, at 89/Kirkland Jct., turn left onto Kirkland/Iron Springs Rd and follow it through Skull Valley and it will avoid 'the big hill' and bring you to west Prescott. Then take 169 a short way to I-17 at Exit 278. Get off at Exit 287/Cottonwood. It's a beautiful, easy drive and have driven it often.
