Loved all the shops and history of the town. It's sort of a seasonal town but many were open the second week in May. Right on Route 66! More

The 50's come alive, a fun stroll. Dotted with patio dining and relaxed, smiling people. A real gem. More

Great character, with lots of route 66 gift shops, eateries, bars and shops offering stuff which I'd not seen before. Great place to stay when traveling through, or visiting Grand Canyon (54 miles away). More
