Twin Arrows, Arizona - Twin Arrows Restored, Route 66 Fans Rejoice

Twin Arrows: We've watched with resignation the gradual decay of the Twin Arrows east of Flagstaff, Arizona. The two big shafts — telephone poles, actually — were left to rot when the trading post that owned them closed in 1998. It wouldn't be long, we thought, before they collapsed in a puff of desert dust, and then were moved to our Gone But Not Forgotten section. [09/28/2009] Complete Story...

You can't pull into the Twin Arrows Trading Post parking lot at all now. The trading post is long closed down and they have concrete barriers all around. Can't even pull over to do a picture. [Dana, 08/11/2010]

[RA: ... though we have recent reports of the arrows restored. Perhaps they're not ready to open for business...]

The Twin Arrows Trading Post site was featured in the movie Joe Dirt, in the scene where he goes looking for an Indian tracker. [Jon, 04/26/2010]

I drove by Twin Arrows Trading Post. I was very excited to see that it is being slowly restored. It is currently being cared for by the Hopi Tribe with help from the Route 66 Association. Their goal is to turn it back into a tourist attraction and Indian market place. You can help by checking out their website at TWINARROWSAZ.COM [Mick, 02/27/2010]

[RA: The website notes: "We look to create an outdoor market place with a staging area for Native Dance and activities it will empower an 'Indian Marketplace at Twin Arrows' that will make a conduit to have tourist[s] visit Hopi Land."]

When I went by I expected to see what was left of the twin arrows. I was very pleasantly surprised to see them looking brand new! It is hard to find any parking nearby, so if you want to stop you'll have to take a bit of a risk. [LR, 10/07/2009]

[RA: A nice restoration just completed, should keep these arrows sharp looking for at least a few years....]
