#1 is an easy drive but longer. We've done this a few times.

#2 You would want to take I-10 to Brenda and get on 60 to 71 to Congress. Take Skull Valley highway (I think it's 15) into Prescott. This skirts the 'big hill' on 89. It's also an easy drive. You will have an uphill at Yarnell but very doable. We've done it often.

#2 Definitely do not take 89 all the way from Congress to Prescott. It's not for big rigs. Take Skull Valley.

We take either one depending where we're coming from. Have a great trip!
