Arizona is a land full of beautiful landscapes that certainly garner a double take. But did you know there are also plenty of strange spots along the state’s highways that are worth a double take AND a picture? Here’s a few of the weirder things you might see around the state:

1. These dinosaurs that sprawl the streets of Holbrook are just the start of a long list of strange finds in Arizona.

4. This pair of giant spurs in Wickenburg is also a little weird.


It sits in a roundabout a little north of town on Highway 93 and was installed last year.

5. Giganticus Headicus in Walapai is another weird find along Route 66.

6. There’s also the Golf Ball House in Yucca.

Known by many other names like Area 66 and the Arizona Death Star, this restaurant turned house may soon become open to visitors but for now most people enjoy getting a photo in front of the oddly shaped building.
7. Hackberry General Store in the tiny town of Hackberry along Route 66 is another interesting find worthy of a visit!

Sadly, the tortoise isn’t real but is still worth a photo op because it is bigger than the picture suggests. It sits on the Bullhead Area Chamber of Commerce property along Highway 95.
