The 5 to the 210 eliminates L.A. entirely. As long as you get to the 210 after 10 am the ride is pretty easy. Traffic going eastbound is pretty light in the morning.
Just stay on the 210 and it will take you right to the 10 and then it's a straight shot to Phoenix.
Going westbound, on your way home, it's lighter in the afternoon but you will run into some slow spots. If you can, try to overnight in Blythe or in the Palm Springs area because by the time you get to the 210 most of the residual traffic will be cleared up.
