Getting around Phoenix

[sreigle]

I'm looking for advice from those in the know.

In a couple of weeks we'll go to Camp Verde, AZ. We'll come from the west, on I-8. We'll cut north on 85 at Gila Bend, to I-10. Then east on I-10.

What is the best way to get to I-17 north from I-10?

1. 303 Loop to Lake Pleasant Rd to 74 to 17?

2. 101 Loop to 17?

3. Or just stay on 10 until reaching 17?

Thanks.
