Dinosaur, Cactus, Snake

Gila Bend is a very small town along Interstate 8 in Arizona. Downtown, which is just a few blocks long, boasts a huge metal dinosaur sculpture, along with a towering rattlesnake and cactus. The three sculptures sit alongside the main road through town. Just down the street is the Space Age Cafe, part of the Best Western Hotel chain.
