Historic Route 66
Twin Arrows, AZ

This stop is one of the finest examples of entrepreneurial ingenuity across the entire Route 66. As a gimmick to encourage road-trip travelers to stop at the gas station, curio shop and diner, two telephone poles were put in the ground diagonally, plywood feathers and tips created, and then painted a bright yellow and red, and a legend was born. Twin Arrows is and icon recognized all over the world. Now owned by the Hopi Tribe, the property will soon be restored.
