Route 66

92. Standin’ on the Corner Park.

Celebrate Winslow’s claim to fame by grabbing a selfie at Standin’ on the Corner Park, Route 66 and North Kinsley Avenue. The Eagles put the town on the map with their 1972 hit “Take it Easy.” The bronze statue of the cowboy balladeer in front of a mural of a girl in a flat-bed Ford is the perfect place for a sing-along: “I’m a standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona. Such a fine sight to see…” (Fun fact: The corner on which the girl caught Glenn Frey’s eye was actually supposedly in Flagstaff on Route 66, where the Dog Haus currently stands.)

93. Earl’s Route 66 Motor Court.

Located a few short blocks from Standin’ on the Corner, Earl’s Route 66 Motor Court offers comfortably old-fashioned rooms along with old-fashioned friendliness and hospitality. Visitors who stay here are welcomed back in time as they relax in the motel that reflects the historic route’s heyday. www.earlsmotorcourt.com.

94. Jack Rabbit Trading Post.

Home of the famous Here It Is sign, Jack Rabbit Trading Post has served tourists along Route 66 since 1949. Memorabilia can also be purchased online at www.jackrabbittradingpost.com.

95. Wigwam Motel.

Drivers passing this landmark motel in Holbrook may recognize it as the inspiration behind the Cozy Cone Motel from Pixar’s animated Cars franchise. The Wigwam Motel was built in 1950, and includes 15 wigwams which can sleep up to four guests. Call (928) 524-3048 for reservations.

96. Seligman.

Seligman, located just 70 miles west of Flagstaff and considered the “Birthplace of Historic Route 66,” celebrates the fun of the Mother Road. Classic cars and retro neon signs abound for an afternoon of nostalgia.
