In a nutshell
Just a brief detour on old Route 66
ahwahneeliz Says: We are up for most things... big balls of twine, 72 oz steaks... and there we were, driving through the Arizona desert. We kept seeing these signs touting METEOR CRATER!!! Ohhhh, Ahhhh. So, we figure what the heck and take the drive. We were in the motor home with a wheel...
Standing on a corner in Winslow, Az.....
sabogg01 Says: For anyone that loves "Take it Easy" By the Eagles then you will love this place. It was one stop along Route 66 that we did not want to miss. Nothing exciting to do here except stand on the corner but we loved it. A lot of other tourists were here taking photos as well....
jumpingnorman Says: Thirty five miles east of Flagstaff and 25 miles west of Winslow lies one of the most amazing things in Arizona --- a real honest-to-goodness 50,000 year old perfect meteor crater (it hurtled to the earth at 40,000 miles per hour)! Everything was wiped out when it hit and...
Basaic Says: There are picnic tables in various parts of the park.
Basaic Says: In the distance you can see the Tuutukwi or The Hopi Buttes. These are sacred areas to the Hopi and are the home to Katsinas or spirits that bring the rain and other things required for the day to day life of the Hopi.
Homolovi Ruins SP Little Colorado River
Basaic Says: Part of the reason the people settled here at Homolovi was the availability of water from the Little Colorado River (called Paayu by the Hopi). Even when the river looks totally dry, there is water available a few feet down.
Homolovi Ruins SP Homolovi II Kivas
Basaic Says: Here (Photos 1 and 2) you see a large rectangular Kiva (or Ceremonial Room). The benches along three sides, the raised altar and the ventilation shaft in the low wall before the altar are distinguishing charcteristics that let you know this is a Kiva. Photo 3 is of a smaller...
Homolovi Ruins SP Homolovi II Trail
Basaic Says: The trail at Homolovi II is also fairly short. This one is paved and looked to be wheelchair accessible. Homolovi II was a 1200 room village that at its peak housed 750 to 1000 people. There is not as much left as at nearby Wupatki National Monument but more than at Homolovi...
Homolovi Ruins SP Homolovi I Trail
Basaic Says: There is a short loop trail that leads through the ruins at Homolovi I. There is not much left here, one decent wall/corner and a few foundations. There are spots along the way where they have flat stones with potshards placed on them. Unlike most places here you are...
Homolovi Ruins SP Tsu 'Vo Trail
Basaic Says: The Tsu 'Vo Trail is a 1/2 mile loop trail between the twin buttes within the Homolovi Ruins State Park. It is a nature trail and also an archaelogical trail where visitors can see milling stone areas and petroglyphs. It is best viewed in the early evening. Unfortunately, I...
Homolovi Ruins State Park Visitor's Center
Basaic Says: The Homolovi Ruins State Park houses the ruins of a 14th Century settlement of the Hisat'sinom (better known as the Anasazi) located in the high grassland along the Little Colorado River. These people paused in their migrations to till the rich flood plain and sandy slopes...
Basaic Says: Winslow is located on the famed Route 66.

Basaic Says: The Country Kitchen has a nice buffet with a variety of meats, pasta, potatoes, vegetables and desserts. Everything was pretty good and it's all you can eat.

daarth Says: Winslow is on the I-40.If you go here from Grand Canyon, you pass Meteor Crater. Worth a visit. See my Flagstaff page!
Don't give money to the beggers.
tpate Says: You may or may not see any beggers. If you do and want to help - buy them a sandwich or soda. Please don't give money to the beggers.
Homolovi Ruins SP Rattlesnakes
Basaic Says: On the Tsu Vo Trail, at marker 6, is a large rock with a depression in the bottom. This is a common hangout for rattlesnakes so be cautious when passing this part of the trail.
Homolovi Ruins General Warnings
Basaic Says: On the grounds of Homolovi Ruins State Park, as on most government owned land, it is illegal to remove, alter, damage or otherwise mess with the ruins, grounds, or any artifact or plant. Please leave them alone for future visitors.
daarth Says: We were all alone at this amazing site. Maybe it was becouse it was the 1st of January. We came late, but just cought the sun setting.
RACCOON1 Says: Just west of Winslow , Arizona is Meteor Crater . The crater is not a National Park .The admittance fee is excessive . Maybe if you are a single traveller it is worth it . Most people travelling in northern Arizona may have to stay at Winslow as its location is very...
daarth Says: See the sun set over the Little Painted Desert.
