I8 Go north at Gila Bend to I10,

You don't want to go all the way to quartzite.

Take the exit that goes to Vicksburg.

Google says the gila bend route is faster than the new 202…

Hard to believe since the 85 has a 65 mph speed limit versus the I-10 and 202 of 75 and about the I-10/202 route is 10 miles shorter....

Do this drive a lot from TX, and back. I run 10 all the way to the new 202, then out to quartzite and up. Better roads, and less traffic issues IMO.

The 202 was in planning stages the last time I made the trip, so it could be easier and faster (for now).

But I rarely saw another car between Vicksburg and Parker, and I got to avoid the armpit Quartzite.

YMMV and all that, as this has been several years ago.

The road is rough in between Vicksburg and Parker, I always get stuck behind semi trucks on that road... and unless you are willing to speed through a couple of small towns with speed trap style speed zones it's mostly likely a wash... BUT I agree its a nice change of pace if you are patient and willing to roll the dice a bit, I will some times go that route.

I definitely like Vicksburg on the way back to Phx Metro, It seems to me that it smooths out the grade a bit versus the climb out of the Colorado river valley through Quartzite.

I prefer the Gila Bend route from Tucson hands-down. When the new 202 W. opened up it was cool for the first couple trips but the problem coming from Tucson is that you still have to go I-10 N/O Casa Grande across the Rez where it gets back down to 2 shit ass lanes and the accidents/fatalities are off the chart in that stretch. Im gonna head up nxt Wed for the Rockabilly dealio then stay 10ish days and wk on the Schiada.
