'''Interstate Highway 10 (I-10)''' through Arizona begins at the Colorado River bordering [[California]] and passes through [[Phoenix (Arizona)|Phoenix]], the state's largest city, before veering south into [[Tucson]] and then eastward to the New Mexico border. When hitchhiking this route between April through October, be prepared with sun cover (hat and long-sleeved, lightweight cotton clothes) and plenty of water. The temperatures can potentially reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit during any day of these months. In late July through August, temperatures can soar over 120 degrees in some regions.
'''Interstate Highway 40 (I-40)''' begins at the Colorado River west of [[Kingman]] and climbs to 7000 feet elevation to the mountain towns of [[Williams]] and [[Flagstaff]]. I-40 then descends through [[Winslow]] and [[Holbrook]] before entering Navajo Nation en route to the New Mexico border. Sites and detours along the way include Grand Canyon National Park (exit 165 to Route 64 North), downtown Flagstaff for friendly locals and kindred travellers (exit 195 and head north along Milton Rd to Route 66) and Petrified Forest National Park (Exit 311, be prepared to hike in). Meteor Crater in Winslow is not worth the visit. It is privately owned and you must pay $15 to see the crater, as it is surrounded by a fence set back from the rim. Keep in mind that it is illegal to hitchhike within national parks, so thumb a ride before the toll booths.
