Hurricane UT To Bentonville AR

Which route has less hills and grades between Hurricane UT and Bentonville AR? Which route would you take and why?

There is no route with less hills. Your gonna have to take 70 through Utah and Colorado.

Actually, I think the shortest / fastest route is down through Gallup NM and take I 40 across. I was just through there , I took a load from Hurricane down to Odessa TX. It starts out looking a little dicey but only for a few miles and then flattens out on top. LOL!

Yep, I would go that way rather than across Colorado. I would take UT-59/AZ-389 to Fredonia, then take US 89A up to US 89 in Kanab, then US 89 all the way around through Utah and Arizona. I have been on US 89A down through Arizona to US 89, and although it is wildly beautiful, it's not really a truck road. There are some steep grades, the curves are tight and there are lots of people in RVs who like to stop along the shoulders to look at the canyons.

I am not sure whether it would be better from there to go down to US 160 in Arizona, then at Tuba City take AZ-264 to US 491 to I-40 in Gallup, or to take US 89 all the way to Flagstaff to I-40, since I haven't been on 264 before. The terrain doesn't look too bad on 264, but it's kind of curvy and I'm not sure what level of service you can get there if you break down.

Yes, that's the route I took. Honestly it's not that bad at all. There's only a few twisty sections, basically zero traffic and it's pretty much flat 80% of the way. I definitely swing down to Flagstaff in the winter though.

Your Qualcomm will most likely route you to Flagstaff. So if you don't have a 2nd gps you can program it to Tuba City and it should pickup 264 after that.

Oh yeah, it is really pretty up there but not much past Tuba City except for a few really small towns.

I took 9, 59, 389, 89A then 89 to I-40 all the way to OKC before getting on I-44. Best drive so far!!
