One thing that makes life so fun and interesting is a good ol' road trip! I, for one, love jumping into the car, especially on a whim, and hitting the road in search of adventure. Of course, it's always best to have a plan in mind, so if you're interested in taking a drive to visit some of the most iconic roadside attractions in Arizona, here's the route:

This Arizona road trip will cover 153 miles and will take just over 2.5 hours of driving time. You may be able to do this trip in one day, but I think taking at least two days would be best. Follow the route on Google Maps.

1. Rainbow Rock Shop

Our first road trip stop is in the town of Holbrook where you'll find the Rainbow Rock Shop. This is one roadside attraction you can't miss as there are massive dinosaur statues outside. Head into the store and you can pick up some souvenirs including petrified wood and rocks.

2. Wigwam Motel

Back in the car, you'll drive less than a mile (0.6 miles to be exact) to the Wigwam Motel. Built in 1950, it's a time capsule of sorts with several wigwams on the property. And, yes, you can book a night here. After all, it's one of the most unique places to stay in Arizona!

3. Standin' On The Corner in Winslow, Arizona

Winslow was put on the map when the Eagles' song "Take it Easy" hit the airwaves back in 1972. A line in the song mentions, "Well, I'm standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see...," and when you come to town, you can certainly do that and take a picture to prove it! I have my own photos from several years ago when a friend of mine and I were passing through town on a road trip. It's just one of those touristy things you have to do!

4. Twin Arrows Trading Post Ruins

Next stop, Flagstaff! This is where we will stop at the Twin Arrows Trading Post Ruins on Historic Route 66. Two massive arrows of an old trading post stand here. Built in 1940 and originally called the Canyon Padre Trading Post, and later Twin Arrows, a gas station, a diner, and a gift shop once stood here with arrows enticing weary travelers to stop for a spell. It was abandoned decades ago. While the arrows have been maintained, the abandoned buildings have not. However, it's worth a photo stop.

5. Miz Zip's

If you find yourself famished while traveling through Flagstaff, our next stop should satisfy your appetite. Welcome to Miz Zip's, an iconic Route 66 diner that's been open since the 1950s. And its interior looks as though it hasn't changed much since then. Sit down in this cozy diner and order yourself a breakfast plate, a sandwich, a slice of pie, a shake, or any number of classic American dishes.

6. Grand Canyon Deer Farm

If you love petting zoos, you must stop at the 10-acre Grand Canyon Deer Farm in Williams to feed and pet some deer. In addition to deer, there are wallabies, bison, peacocks, llamas, and several other animals. This farm has been open for over five decades to the delight of those traveling through Williams to head to the Grand Canyon. Open year-round, there's no excuse not to stop!

7. Flintstones Bedrock City

Years upon years ago, I somehow ended up in Bedrock City before heading to the Grand Canyon. I have to tell you, this place did not disappoint! I felt like a kid again from the moment we parked the car. I was traveling with my aunt and we treated ourselves to coffee and dessert at the cafe before heading outdoors to the colorful cave-like homes like those in The Flintstones cartoon. You'll even see dinosaurs around town!
