Worth the stop for a bit of nostalgia. Sad to see the Google Maps images still showing the old building with painted signs and now its just a graffitied mess.

I love abandoned places and this little guy is a gem...I saw it years ago when it was still operational and its a little sad to see what had happened to it but its still beautiful. Just in a different way now.

Beautiful and interesting graffitid relic of Americana Historica. No facilities, as such, but theres a lot of cool stuff to see and neat places to take pictures. Dont break anything or leave trash. Its definitely well worth a stop.

Very cool but so trashed. Covered in graffiti broken glass everywhere. Tetanus waiting to happen.

It is neat to stop by and see it if you’re in the area with about 20 minutes to spare. Just an old gas station built in the 1940’s and abandoned in 1995. Pretty sure the tweakers have gutted all the copper out.

It is worth looking up to see what once was, but no big deal

One of my favorite places! I love the colors and abandoned structures. Its a reminder of what America and Route 66 used to be.

If you are on the way CHECK IT OUT. The two giant arrows are standing there near the telephone booth. The buildings of the trading post are in BAD shape but I was still able to walk around and go inside..there is GLASS everywhere so be careful or wear gym shoes.There are murals everywhere because people just go there and do what they want.The place is a bit OFF ROAD and...dont wash the CAR before you go.On the highway there are signs for the TRADING POST in case you cannot find it.The land now belongs to the casino

The arrows were cool, but the run down station beside them held an eerie, but beautiful atmosphere about it. Wonderful graffiti for photos, but watch out for broken glass and holes to another reality.

The Forest Gump movie, T-shirt Happy Face wipe scene was shot right here. Historic, but very dilapidated now. Worth a quick stop and a picture.

Review №21

I actually had a good time exploring and taking images of the graffiti at Twin Arrows. It is probably dangerous to explore inside the building because the ceiling looks as though it could collapse at any time.

This place is getting more and more torn up and covered in graffiti, its sad. But a cool place to visit. First one was today and the other was early 2017.

If you like abandonded places this one is amazing. Its open so you can head inside. We were a bit worried there was asbestos around so cover your mouth. Beautiful graffiti art all over and has some amazing history

Just 2 cool old arrows on the side of the road near a tribal casino in the middle of nowhere.

I love abandoned places, and this is by far one of the coolest. There is enough stuff still around from when it was in its hayday that you can really feel that eerie stepping back in time feeling. So many cool things to see, great graffiti, and I love the arrows! A must-see for any fellow urbex lovers!

Standing out there, you get a sense of the desperation at time for a very hard moment in our history. These places were so important for the desperate travelers.

Review №35

Back when, Twin Arrows use to be one of my favorite places to stop. I drove my semi-truck coast to coast, from Charlotte NC to Pico Riviera CA. They had good coffee, food and conversation. Not to mention pretty waitresses. Hate to see it closed and vandalized.

If people are getting the urge to paint, the arrows need repainting as does the buildings, place needs to be torn down because of the vandalism
