Private shuttle from Star Valley to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport
Star Valley is a small Rim-country town just east of Payson, and for its travelers the airport question is really a Beeline Highway question: Phoenix Sky Harbor sits about 89 road miles down SR-87. That is far enough that a 4:30 a.m. departure behind your own wheel loses its appeal fast. This page covers the route, realistic drive times, and the real fares recorded on our completed Star Valley trips.
The route from Star Valley to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport
The route follows AZ-260 into Payson, then the Beeline Highway (SR-87) south through the Mazatzal mountains to the Loop 202 and the PHX terminal loop. Completed Star Valley trips logged a median of about 89 dispatch miles and roughly 1 hr 35 min to 2 hours of drive time; the Beeline is the whole story, so a weather front over the Mazatzals or Friday-afternoon recreation traffic is the slow-down to plan around. Star Valley addresses cluster tightly, so quoted mileage varies little from trip to trip.
