Transportation in Greater Prescott Area
|
It’s easy to reach Prescott from any other part of the state. After all, Prescott is located near the geographic center of Arizona. Approaching Prescott from Phoenix, you will travel on I-17 to Route 69 – about a two-hour, 100-mile trip, in total. From the north, you’d take I-17 south from Flagstaff to Route 169, and then Route 69 – once again, about a two-hour, 100-mile trip. A little further to the west, take Route 89 south from I-40 at Ash Fork and you'll be in Prescott.
