| I-40 makes for a quick trip across the wide open spaces you encounter from Flagstaff to Holbrook. Think back to travel by wagon, then trains, and the early highways such as Route 66 and you will appreciate the conforts of your vehicle. |
| Flagstaff |

Flagstaff is a community rich with cultural diversity, beauty, and history as well as amazing educational, recreational and scientific opportunities. At 7,000 feet elevation, Flagstaff is considered a high altitude semi-desert location. Flagstaff known as the city of pines has four different seasons making it a perfect location for tourist attraction. Flagstaff (called "Flag" by the locals) is the seat of Coconino County. An early explorer said of the Flagstaff region: "It has every attraction: health, scenery, sky, elevation, climate and proximity to the greatest natural curiosity on this continent ... the Grand Canyon."

| Walnut Canyon National Monument |

 Walk in the footsteps of people who lived at Walnut Canyon more than 700 years ago. Peer into their homes, cliff dwellings built deep within canyon walls. The presence of water in a dry land made the canyon rare and valuable to its early human inhabitants. It remains valuable today as habitat for plants and animals. See for yourself on trails along the canyon rim and into the depths. Walnut Canyon National Monument |

| Twin Arrows |
|
| A long lasting Route 66 icon, the Twin Arrows Trading Post is no longer in business. Its prominent red and yellow arrows are quickly deteriorating against the desert winds and the Arizona sun.
The Twin Arrows rading post needs a savior soon, the "Best Little Stop on I-40" is receding into the timeline. The Arrow Statues plunging into the Colorado Plateau are all that remain of advertising for the Twin Arrows Trading Post in Arizona.
