Twin Arrows, Arizona: Twin Arrows Trading Post - Ruins

Two giant arrows seem lodged in the ground, falling just short of what remains of Route 66. Restored in 2009; by 2022 only one arrow remained standing.

Twin Arrows Trading Post - Ruins

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.

Twin Arrows Trading Post

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.

Definitely not on the site now, and they don't look like they were built for portability....

Drove by, but area is totally closed off by concrete highway barriers. So we couldn't stop and see close up due to traffic and nowhere to pull off. Still pretty cool! [365ontheroad2015, 09/23/2015]

You can skirt around the concrete barriers from the east side of the loop created by the westbound off-ramp.

Blocked off by concrete K rails. Trading post looks like it's closed. On the side of highway construction. This is a great drive-by -- take a picture without getting out.

Address:
Old Route 66, Twin Arrows, AZ
Directions:
Exit 219 off of eastbound I-40. A concrete barrier blocks access directly in front of the ruins, but drive a little further east and the barrier ends. Then you can pull off and park, and walk back on the safe inner side.
