Winslow, Arizona |
 | | Winslow, which is 50 miles east of Flagstaff at an altitude of 5,500 feet, has long been a railroad hub (it’s named after a railroad president), a stop on the legendary Route 66 and a jumping-off point for the Petrified Forest National Park and the Painted Desert. |
 | | Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Depot: The historic one-story, stucco depot in downtown Winslow is a remnant of its role as a railroad hub. |
 | | The inn, built by a local businessman in 1924 and renovated by the Fred Harvey Co. and run by its “Harvey Girls” starting in 1947, is notable for its Pueblo Revival-style architecture, the petrified wood used in its construction, murals by Hopi artist Fred Kabotie and its views of the Painted Desert, particularly at sunset. |
