Bypass Phoenix from Flagstaff to Palm Springs
Heading to Palm Springs on 10 coming from Flagstaff on 17. Wondering best way to avoid worst traffic.

If I recall correctly it is not all down hill from Flagstaff to Phoenix on I 17.
There is one if not two rather steep (less than 7%) up hill grades going south on I 17.
The Kingman route to I10 at Quartzite from flagstaff is all down hill. The so called ribbon road on the Arizona side is a good wide two lane highway. There is only about 20 miles that I would call a ribbon road. Never have had problems with rigs passing on the Arizona side. California is another matter and I will never travel US 95 in California again.
