Two Guns,
Arizona became one of many tourist stops along
Route 66 with a gas station, overnight accommodations, a cafe, and a souvenir shop for the many travelers of the Mother Road. Later a "zoo" was added to the popular tourist stop which included mountain lions, panthers, and bobcats.
After I-40 bypassed Two Guns, it, like so many other popular Route 66 stops, died a quick death. Although numerous resuscitations have been attempted for Two Guns, it still sits lonely and abandoned today. Photo by
