Rte 93 in Arizona

What kind of road is Rte 93 in Arizona between I-40 and Wickenburg? I see it on the map as being a scenic drive but was wondering if it is mountain road and would it be a hard pull for a 35ft fifth wheel?
  • When in doubt, bring up Google Maps in the computer find the route you want then go to street view and actually see the roadway from a driver's perspective. I use Google Maps all the time for route planning. One other option is to get the Motor Carrier's Atlas, which shows approved routes for 18-wheelers.
  • Thanks for the info on rte 93. Looks like the way to go. Thanks for the rte 70 info, didn't see that one for some reason. Old Bisquit, Don't think I ever said Thank You for the help you gave me on my motorhome a couple years go. So THANK YOU for your help.
  • 93 is one of the major routes for travel between Las Vegas area and the Phoenix valley. Good highway with speed limits between 55 mph and 65 mph, some rough surface area will require slowing down but excellent for rv towing. Just came through a couple of days ago. Iv headed to the Phoenix area consider taking Highway 74 10 miles south of Wickenburg to I17 to avoid all the stop n go traffic on Highway 60 into the Phoenix area.
