Twin Arrows is a ghost town in the central part of Arizona on US Route 66. As befell the majority of businesses along the Route 66 the Trading Post began to fail with the construction of the new Interstate 40 (I-40) because motorists no longer had to take Route 66. The store/diner/ service station/gift shop passed through various owners until 1995 when it was finally closed and abandoned. The land where Twin Arrows is located is in the Navajo and Hopi reservation and owned by the Twin Arrows Navajo Casino.
