hwys in arizona
Gettting 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

To avoid all Phoenix traffic I would take exit 109 off of I-10, the Sun Valley Parkway. Go to the 303, and then over to I-17.
The Sun Valley Parkway is 4 lane divided all the way around to the 303, and 303 is 4 lane divided to I-17.
It's amazing how many Arizona residents are unaware it has been there for over 20 years.
When they complete the 303 it will be another good route, but for now it's about 15 miles of 35 MPH speed limit and many detours.
