I make videos of Arizona places. I've been walking these lands for thousands of years, listening and watching. Now I share the stories I learned. Today you see me sitting in a chair outside the Snow Cap in Seligman, Arizona.

Seligman sits in the homeland of the Havasupai people. They call it Thavgyalyal (Hinton, 1984).

If you've been to one of these places, which one? Tell me below. 👇

WHAT I'VE SEEN HERE
• Folks in this town talked Arizona into namin' the old road a Historic Highway in 1987. Seligman's been called the birthplace of Historic Route 66 ever since (NPS).
• The interstate went around this town in 1978. I watched the traffic stop (NPS).
• Juan Delgadillo built the Snow Cap in 1953, mostly out of scrap lumber from the Santa Fe rail yard (Arizona historical marker, 2003).

WHEN TO GO
Any day the Snow Cap's open. Blue hour is when the awning lights come on.

HOW TO GET THERE
I-40 to exit 123 or 121, then Historic Route 66 into town.

RESPECT
Sit in the chairs. Leave the car alone.

How a river ended up a thousand feet down, what lifted the ground under it, and whose land the overlook stands on. All in this caption.

The ground rose under the Colorado River, and the river kept its course at Horseshoe Bend, Arizona.

Page, Arizona: sunrise or sunset at the Bend? Tell us below.

LITTLE-KNOWN
• Around 5 million years ago the Colorado Plateau uplifted, and the meandering rivers crossing it were trapped in their beds (National Park Service).
• Over time the river cut down through the uplifted layers of sandstone (National Park Service).
• The bend is roughly 1,000 feet deep and curves 270 degrees (National Park Service).

WHEN TO GO
Hike at the coolest time of day. There is no water on the trail and very little shade (National Park Service).

HOW TO GET THERE
The trailhead is off US 89 between mileposts 544 and 545, about 5 miles south of the Carl Hayden Visitor Center. The City of Page runs the parking lot and charges a fee; park passes do not apply. The walk to the overlook is 1.5 miles round trip (National Park Service).

WHOSE LAND
The trail and the overlook are on the Navajo Nation (National Park Service).

RESPECT
Much of the rim has no railing above a 1,000-foot drop. Stay back from the edge, and no drones without written park approval (National Park Service).

The Route 66 bridge that changed jobs, and the year it happened. All in this caption.

At Topock, Arizona, the old Route 66 bridge over the Colorado River now carries natural gas instead of cars.

River folks from Topock to Needles: have you spotted the white arch from the water? Tell us below.

LITTLE-KNOWN
• The Old Trails Bridge carried the National Old Trails Road first, and Route 66 by 1926 (National Park Service).
• In 1948 the deck was removed so the bridge could carry a natural gas pipeline, which it still carries (National Park Service).
• It sits a few hundred feet south of where Interstate 40 crosses the Colorado River (National Park Service).

RESPECT
This area holds cultural importance for nine federally recognized tribes (U.S. Department of the Interior). Look from the shore, leave no trace.

Where 20,000 cranes sleep, where they spend the day, and the hour they lift off. All in this caption.

Every winter night the cranes come back to the same water at Whitewater Draw, Arizona.

Sulphur Springs Valley folks: do the cranes feed in the fields near you? Tell us below.

LITTLE-KNOWN
• About 20,000 sandhill cranes use the lake at Whitewater Draw as their nighttime roost, October through March (Arizona Game and Fish).
• At sunrise they fly out to farm fields across the Sulphur Springs Valley to feed, and they are back on the water before noon (Arizona Game and Fish).

WHEN TO GO
October through March. Be there before sunrise to watch them lift off (Arizona Game and Fish).

HOW TO GET THERE
From AZ-80 about 5 miles south of Tombstone, take Davis Road east, then turn right on Coffman Road and go about 2.5 miles to the entrance, near McNeal (Arizona Game and Fish).

RESPECT
Cranes are wary birds. Stay on the paths, keep your voice low, and pack out everything.

A railroad siding, a dam that never came, and a neon sign that's still standing. All in this caption.

Truxton, Arizona is a Route 66 town that grew up on a bet.

Truxton and Peach Springs folks: have you stopped for a photo at the Frontier Motel sign? Tell us below.

LITTLE-KNOWN
• According to local history, two men built a service station here in 1951, expecting a dam on the Colorado River at Bridge Canyon. The dam was never built, and Route 66 traffic kept the business going (Legends of America).
• The Frontier Motel is one of the Route 66 properties helped by the National Park Service's Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program (National Park Service).

HOW TO GET THERE
Truxton sits on the long stretch of Route 66 between Seligman and Kingman.

RESPECT
Some of these buildings are private property. Take your photos from the road.

How long a saguaro waits for its first arm, why some wait even longer, and where to stand among the big ones. All in this caption.

A saguaro takes 50 years to grow one arm. Some take 70.

Tucson: what's the oldest saguaro on your street or your trail? Tell us below.

LITTLE-KNOWN
• Saguaro branches normally begin to appear at 50 to 70 years of age (National Park Service).
• In places with less rain, a first arm can take up to 100 years (National Park Service).

WHEN TO GO
Check current hours and conditions with Saguaro National Park before you go (National Park Service).

HOW TO GET THERE
Saguaro National Park has two districts on either side of Tucson, the Rincon Mountain District to the east and the Tucson Mountain District to the west, about 30 miles apart (National Park Service).

RESPECT
Stay on the trail and give every saguaro room.

What Tortilla Flat was built for, why it's the last of its kind on the Apache Trail, and where to sit when you get there. All in this caption.

Tortilla Flat sits in the Tonto National Forest, Apache and Yavapai homeland, and Hohokam and Salado country before that (U.S. Forest Service).

• Ash Fork burned in 1893 and was rebuilt in its own flagstone (Arizona House Resolution 2001).

RESPECT
The dam sits in the national forest. Admire it, leave it as you found it.
