Seattle to Prescott AZ in early May
We are planning a trip to visit my brother and his wife in Prescott. We are leaving after Mother's day and have about 16 days for the trip in our Class C. We plan to spend 3 days with them so that leaves 13 days for travel.
According to the atlas I see 3 routes, one south through Oregon, Cali and then to AZ. The second is south through eastern Oregon, then southern Idaho and run the hiways along the eastern edge of Nevada, then to AZ. The third is again south through eastern Oregon, southern Idaho, then into Utah heading south into AZ. Any other's? Which is the best route to take? We could take one route there and a different one back.
Having never made this trip before we'd like to make the most of the time and distance we have to cover. I am comfortable driving for a maximum of 5 hours a day after allowing for breaks and gas stops. I'd appreciate any advice, suggestions or comments about routes or campgrounds, or the weather or whatever. We want to take in as much of the sights as we can along the way. We have made the trip from Seattle to LA several times so that part of that route is old hat for us. My brother is going to show us the Grand Canyon during our stay with them. Beyond that we are wide open. Wish we could take more time but prior commitments dictate our schedule. Thanks!
