Two Guns, AZ










Just west of the closed gas station and campground you can still see stone ruins left over from the heyday of Route 66. Tourist stops lured the Route 66 traveler to stay awhile in Two Guns at one time. There was even a small zoo located here for the pleasure of the tourists who came through. All that is left of them are the stone ruins along the rim of Canyon Diablo. There are also numerous ruins associated with the zoo, as well as the remnants of buildings associated with various eras of Two Guns's past. It was at this point that Route 66 crossed Canyon Diablo. The old bridge across Canyon Diablo which was a part of the National Trail and Route 66 is still standing.
