Does anyone from the West Valley know if it's quicker to take I-17 to the carefree highway, or to take 101 East to Pima and head North to get to Bartlett Lake?

101 east to pima is much quicker and a couple miles shorter.

I think its faster to go 101 to scotsdale rd and cut over on dynamite. less residential area. ...pete

Depends on what time of the day you go. non rush hour or tee time take 101 to pima. other times take I-17 to Carefree to Frank Llyod Rightto Cave Creek.

Thanks for the info. We'll be headed out there around 5:30 pm. I have always just gone I 17 to carefree to cave creek, but it takes a while to go through town. Boat cop, did you mean scottsdale rd(looks like it turns into Tom Darlington) or frank lloyd wright? The map I was looking at (could be outdated) doesn't show frank lloyd wright intersecting with carefree. It does look like carefree hwy to scottsdale rd would be a lot quicker than going all the way through town on cave creek. Unless someone thinks there is a quicker way during rush hour, I think we'll go 17 to carefree to scottsdale/Tom Darlington to cave creek? Thanks again for your responses!

Sorry, Yea Tom Darlington, cuts about 4 minutes off.
