The I-17 climb from our W Glendale Avenue yard to Flagstaff is the most scenic 155 miles in Arizona moving — and the steepest grade we run. ACE Movers does the Glendale to Flagstaff route every snowbird cycle, every ASU-Flagstaff transfer, and every Phoenix-to-cool-air retiree downsize. Same Dale-led crew from your Westside curb to your mountain-town driveway, signed flat figure, no broker handoff at the rim.
Route & Timing
The run is straight north: I-17 from the Glendale interchange through Anthem, Black Canyon City, Camp Verde, the Sedona-area exits, and the Mogollon Rim climb — 1,000 feet of Valley to 7,000 feet of pine forest in roughly three hours. We load early, hit I-17 by 8am, pace the rim grade past Sedona, and unload Flagstaff the same afternoon for most households.
What This Move Costs
| Home size | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bed apartment | $2,795–$4,295 |
| 2-bedroom Westside home | $4,295–$6,395 |
| 3-bedroom + garage | $6,395–$8,195 |
| 4-bed + piano + storage | $8,195–$9,000 |
All Glendale to Flagstaff moves are binding Arizona flat figures. Winter chain-up at Camp Verde adds nothing to the figure; piano on the I-17 grade adds $515.
