Any AZ peeps ever done this? I was just curious what the 60 west of Wickenburg and the 72 between Vicksburg and Parker is like. From Lake Pleasant it looks like this would be a short cut but not if the roads suck.
Thanks

The roads are okay, supposed to save about 15 mins...but not really worth
it to me, especially towing a boat...take 303 to 10.

Thanks. That is what we usually do.

I did that when I picked up my boat in Phoenix the roads were nice..but make sure you do the speed limit...right by wickenburg there is this little burger joint...the best damn burgers and fries I have ever tasted..Everyonce in a while I make my way out there just to eat... last time there was a corvette club about 75 corvettes were there all differnt generations...really cool place.

It's lots of rural farming communities and 2 lane roads. I don't know how much time it saves as I've never done it pulling a boat. You might try coming home that way some time and see how it works out. If nothing else it's a prettier drive than the 10 coming back in. ;)

We live in Carefree and go that way 99% of the time.
(Had a place in Parker and ran it quite a bit). For us it is the only way to go. Don't have to fight the varying speeds of people on the Freeway. Nice and easy on the brain too. Usually not much traffic... put on the cruise on and chill. We made Parker in under 3 hours from Carefree
You do have to pass to oncoming traffic but at the end of the day driving like an idiot and just cruising only makes about a 15 min difference on the ride so we tend to just enjoy the ride and old small towns you go past.
Hope that helps
