“Standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see…” The corner is real to include the flatbed Ford! Winslow is located about 57 miles southeast of Flagstaff along Highway 66. Nearby attractions include the Petrified Forest National Park and the Meteor Crater. The historic La Posado Hotel and the Turquoise Room Restaurant in Winslow are worth a visit.

Chili & Cedar’s Review:
We liked our stay at the Meteor Crater RV Park. We spent most of our time in the dog park since there were too many pickers on the road – ouch!
Campground Rating: 4.6 PAWS
We liked standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona – such a fine place to be! We joined mom and dad for beers and dinner at the RelicRoad Brewing Company. The Petrified Forest National Park is so pet friendly – we loved our hike on the Crystal Forest Loop Trail and the Giant Logs Trail.
