What’s the Best Route from Phoenix to Yellowstone?

I’m taking a road trip from Phoenix to Yellowstone for a camping trip with some friends. It’s a long journey, so we’ll need to stay overnight in a few cities along the way. What’s the best route from Phoenix to Yellowstone?

That sounds like a fantastic road trip! The distance from
Phoenix
to Yellowstone is about 981 miles, which should end up taking over 15 hours to drive to your destination.
The best route from Phoenix to Yellowstone will be easy for you and your friends to follow. You’ll take I-10 W to I-17 N for about two hours before merging onto I-15 N. You’ll take this interstate for several hours before taking US-20 E the rest of the way. Here are some great stops along your route:
  • Grand Canyon National Park: A must-see stop along your journey! The Grand Canyon is about 3.5 hours from Phoenix and there are so many scenic landscape views to take in there that you may want to
    camp out
    for a few nights.
  • Salt Lake City: If you need a break from the outdoors and want to spend a night or two in a city,
    Salt Lake City
    is a great option! There’s plenty of art, culture, breweries, shopping, and dining choices for you and your friends to enjoy between national parks.
Before you hit the road, make sure you have the best
car insurance
to protect yourself along the way.
