One of the most wonderful things about living in the Phoenix area is its proximity to many exciting places. You can be in the southwest desert, and within a few hours you can be enjoying the ocean, pine forests, skiing, incredible natural wonders, the Vegas strip, and Mexico.
Here are the mileages and estimated driving times to many of the popular destinations close to Phoenix. When you've got a long weekend, and you just want to get in your vehicle and take a road trip, one of these spots might end up as your destination.
Keep in mind that mileages and driving times are estimates. The mileage from Phoenix to anywhere depends, of course, on where in Phoenix you are leaving from. These mileages are basically measured from downtown Phoenix to the logical downtown or central visitor point of the destination. As far as driving times are concerned, well those will certainly vary depending on how you drive and what kind of traffic and construction you encounter along the way. Be logical--obviously driving on a holiday weekend or during the weekday rush hours will take longer than driving on a Sunday morning at 5 a.m.
