papajim1ExplorerJul 23, 2013hwys in arizonaGettting ready for a trip from Temecula, Ca to Cottonwood, Az. Any route suggestions, I would like to avoid the Phoenix area freeways, like 101and 17. We staying at Verde Valley campground. Thanks
Executive45Explorer IIIJul 23, 2013There's nothing wrong with 101..it bypasses Phoenix. Take 215 north, I-10 East, 101 North, I-17 North to Camp Verde, then 260 west. That's the most direct route.An alternate route would be:Take 215 North, I-10 East, US 60 (after you pass Q) East, 74 East (towards Lake Pleasant) I-17 North and 260 West...This route is much much longer..Enjoy Thousand Trails....Dennis
