Why this spot

1920s-1971 Route 66 tourist stop

A roadside complex on the rim of Canyon Diablo that began as Canyon Lodge around 1924 and became Fort Two Guns, with a zoo, museum, fake cliff dwelling, store and gas station, peaking in the 1940s. Interstate traffic bypassed it and a fire destroyed the structures in 1971.View source →
