Driving Directions Needed ....

[flyu2there]

17N out of Phoenix can get gamey in the Winter, its a fairly steep and long climb right into snow country at Flagstaff. That route selection is strictly a function of the weather and temperatures...watch out for the Black Ice anytime in the Winter, especially in early mornings.

93 isn't quite as bad however it is slow and you have to watch how you enter Las Vegas, I do not know what the current status of the Hoover Dam thing is but it has been difficult in the past.

I would probably take 10 West to 95 (Quartzite to Parker and transition to the California side ......review your map, you will want to go to Vidal Junction). BTW there is a California Fruit Police Station at Vidal so hide your veggies! That will put you on 40 at Needles, then climb the hill West of Needles and get back on 95. Caution, caution again, just after you get on 95 Northbound (West of Needles) there is a railroad crossing that is marked at 25 mph....that's way to fast. 10 mph is much better...do it at 55 and you will be looking for suspension parts, tires, dishes, television sets, etc. Other than that the roads are all good.

Thanks John for the various routes to LV from Phoenix.

I talked to my dad today, and he said I-40 was closed today, cause Flagstaff got 2' of snow.

Will have to just see what the roads are like when we get there to see if it is worth the trip or not.

Gary,

The I-10 route that John mentioned would keep you in the lower elevations.

But, if you've got an extra day, come down I-10 into Indio, and stay at the Outdoor Resort (or other nice park) for a night in the Palm Springs/Indo area.

Then work your way up to the 15, and head out to Vegas that way. Yeah, it's an extra day's drive, for sure. But, it would be a nice stay in Indio.

Hi Ray,

Ray witch Outdoor Resort do you stay at the new one or the older one? They are both great. I'am looking into staying there for the month of Jan 2009.

Thanks

[Ray Davis]

Sid, I have personally only stayed at the newer one, but Ken and Mike stay at the older one (across the street) regularly, and like it there.

I understand that both are wonderful. I spent 4 days at the newer one (for free), using a coupon on the web, on the way back from POG3.
