Recommendation
Considering the overall duration and comfort, I recommend taking a direct flight from Phoenix to Salt Lake City, which is the nearest airport to West Valley City. Post arrival, take a taxi or an Uber for the short 10-mile trip to West Valley City. While road travel can be scenic, the significant time investment makes flying a preferable choice.
