which route KC to Santa Fe then Sedona...

To tour Sedona, we like to stay in nearby Cottonwood at Dead Horse Ranch State Park. It's a short, scenic drive to Sedona and you don't have to deal with the awful traffic. You are close to Jerome for a nice lunch in this unique little town (don't take the RV) and there are a few great Indian ruins in the area to explore. You could also do a day trip to Prescott.

For Cottonwood from I-17, take 260 west (the Cottonwood/Camp Verde exit) - no roundabouts.

thank you so much! greatly appreciate the advice!!!

You don't mention how you plan to get to Sedona. If from 40 at Flagstaff and if no one has mentioned 89A is not an rv friendly route. Hwy 17 is recommended. After getting on 17 and if using a GPS do not take the Schnebbly Hill rd. exit. That turns into a 4X4 road. Get off 17 at 179. Do not take the road to Red Rock Crossing as that route is also not RV friendly. !79 has at last count has 11 round-a-bouts.

If you are not wanting the fastest route follow the Old Santa Fe Trail. Take the mountain route and check out Bents Fort. Good roads the whole way and Raton Pass is no trouble at all.

From Santa Fe I would go south on I 25 to I 40 west to Flagstaff I 17 south to 89A south to Sedona.

If you prefer the Blue Highways you can take US-56 West from just South of Olathe on I-35 or pickup US-50 at Emporia.

If you stay on I-25 South of Albuquerque; US-60 and AZ-260 will take you to the Camp Verde, Cottonwood, Sedona area. This is a scenic route with some ups and downs, but a lot of RVs do it.

AZ-89A through Oak Creek Canyon is a very scenic drive, but not very RV friendly. I would go South on I-17 to AZ-179 or AZ-260 depending on where you are staying in the Sedona area.

We have travelled across Kansas every year for the past several years. I believe US-50 goes to Pueblo Colorado as US-50/400. US-56 from Dodge City will take you to US-412 at Boise City, OK. US-412 will take you to I-25 at Springer, NM. All good two lane roads. There is truck traffic as these are main East/West roads in that area.
