I moved to Phoenix in 2001. Average about 2 times driving per year back to California. So I’ve done this drive about 46 times round trip .. 👀

Back in the early 1950s I-5 (then US 99) was improved in many places to four lanes. Bridge over passes were built. Decades later they were torn down and replaced by bigger and more modern bridges.

We make this trip about 6 times a year. The most important thing you need to know is that both Los Angeles and Phoenix have horrible rush hours. Both of them, bumper to bumper traffic. We wanted to miss both Pheonix and Los Angeles morning and late afternoon traffic. So, this is what we do, and we (knock on wood) have never hit any traffic. Or, if we do, it is usually because of an accident. We leave Phoenix at between 4:30 and 5:00 AM. Yep, you read that right. But we miss Phoenix morning rush hour and taking the 210, come into Redlands after the morning rush hour all the way to Pasadena. Since we are going up north, from Pasadena we take the 210 freeway to the Golden State (5)N. We also miss the Bakersfield and Fresno rush hours. On the way home leave around 7:30 and get to Pasadena around 1:30. I would say we miss the traffic about 85% of the time. We stop and eat in Cochella Valley, then start the most boring part of the trip up the very steep grade over the pass to Blyth. There are tons of trunks. The California side is building new lanes through here. We usually stop at Costco in Irwindale and it will usually last us until we cross the boarder into Arizona. The gas is much cheaper. We usually get into Phoenix after the rush hour. It's dark, but no traffic. Hope this helps.

Hi there great video. Im coming in from Australia and doing this drive next week. Picking a rental car up from LAX and driving to Phoenix. Just wondering how hard is it going out of LAX and getting onto the interstate.
@GoingsOnTravel
@GoingsOnTravel Ай бұрын
From my experience, once you get a rental car near the airport (usually you get there by shuttle from the terminal to the rental places), using the 405 and 10 Freeways to get out of West L.A. to points farther east is the way to go, and those freeways can get pretty congested at any time of day. It should be on the more convenient side as you’re never more than a few miles away from the 405 when you’re by LAX.

I drove from Spokane Valley to Everett via US2 last September, during a West Coast road trip (first time I’d been out this way overland). Visited Grand Coulee Dam, the Cascade Tunnel and Stevens Pass along the way. Very scenic and probably better than taking the interstate, albeit rather slower. Eastern Washington reminds me a lot of parts of Kansas and Missouri, just a bit more hilly, with all its farms and orchards, but the Columbia River is truly a land of giants. And then the Cascades is what it is, too.

US Highway 2 is way more fun, for sure! I’ve only been as far east as Wenatchee on that highway, but I remember Stevens Pass and the Cascades being so beautiful in the summertime!
