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...

If you enjoy exploring old ruins, this is a great place to visit. The giant arrows are still intact; so are a few gas pumps and the stove/range from the old cafe.

There are no barriers. Get off at Twin Arrows exit, drive away from the new casino. There is a sign just past the interstate that reads "TWIN ARROWS." Take that lonely road that ends in a loop. We drove around the loop and parked at the edge of the road.

My parents and I stopped here in 1959 on our way across country from Maryland to California. I didn't have a clue where it was! There is a lot of interest in the Twin Arrows but not much mention of the two "Monsters" that stood out front. I'm enclosing a picture of me standing in front of the Monsters. It was black and white and I colored it at some point.
