Built in tribute to the Eagles' song "Take it Easy," this small park features a guitar-playing statue.

What can I say, you just have to stand on the corner in Winslow, Arizona if you ever listened to the Eagles song, "Take It Easy" The town of Winslow sure took advantage of the notoriety this song gave their town. Take Exit 253, North Park Rd. off of I-40. Head south and it will turn into N. Berry Ave,until you get to I-40 Business, also called West Second St. Head east 3 blocks and Standing on the Corner Park is on the northwest corner. You really cannot miss it as there is a big Route 66 painted sign on the road in the middle of the intersection. It almost appears as a building has been tore down and the park established. Very well done, Winslow is painted on the wall of the building and the park is meant for photos, complete with a flat bed ford. It will bring a smile to your face.
2. Little Painted Desert County Park

Reviewed By Reagan10 - Conroe, United States
I might go as far to say this is even better than Painted Desert. The place was empty and deserted...a county park that appears to have been abandon. It is definitely off the beaten path and you will miss the entrance if you don’t look carefully for it. The roads used to be paved leading you right up to and along the rim. Easily accessible by and normal sedan, SUV or pickup. Be prepared to be amazed at the incredible views. We were the sole people there...spent about an hour taking it all in.

What is there to say that can't be seen in the picture? Two pieces of steel from the Twin Towers. So little that silently speaks volumes.

I learned of this at this at the Welcome Center in Winslow and it is worth seeing to enjoy the talent of the man that carved it and just to enjoy it for the meaning of it. Glad I saw it.

“Homolovi” is Hopi for “Place of the Little Hills” — the traditional name for Winslow, Arizona. Homolovi State Park now serves as a center of research for the late migration period of the Hopi from the 1200s to the late 1300s. While archaeologists study the sites and confer with the Hopi to unravel the history of Homolovi, Arizona State Parks provides the opportunity for visitors to visit the sites and use park facilities including a visitor center and museum, various trails and a campground. Several covered picnic tables are located throughout the park. Pullouts provide the opportunity to observe wildlife in this park of over 4,000 acres at an elevation of 4,900 feet.

Don’t pay attention to any negative reviews. This Visitor Center is very nice and there is a nice short movie and several hallways with nice displays and history of meteor facts from around the globe and our vast universe. Yes..it is a giant crater in the ground...it is an amazing thing to see when you put humanity and the universe in perspective. We were not able to walk the rim during our visit due to 60-80mph winds, but the outdoor observation area was good enough and proof that we didn’t want to risk being blown off the rim on our visit.

Clear Creek is a great easy kayaking adventure with gorgeous views and petroglyph sightings as you paddle on this easy, family friendly kayaking adventure. We had our own kayaks but you can rent them in Winslow. Only open during summer hours to rent though.
