Exploring the Ghost Town of Two Guns, Arizona and the Apache Death Cave

Two Guns, Arizona was a popular stop along Route 66 in the first half of the 20th Century. The town featured gas stations, gift shops, a restaurant, and even a zoo. It also was home to the Apache Death Cave, the scene of often told tale where Navajo warriors took revenge on 42 members of an Apache raiding party.

Nowadays, Two Guns is nothing more than a ghost town, with the last gas station and campground having closed decades ago. Because of its remote location in eastern Arizona, a number of ruins of the town, including the abandoned 1920s zoo remain. Also remaining, the Apache Death Cave itself.

In this video we explore the ruins of the town, talk about its history and some of the colorful characters that inhabited it. We also take a look at the Canyon Diablo bridge, which is located on the National Register of Historic Places.

Then we climb into the Apache Death Cave, explore it, talk about its history and if the legend of the massacre is true. Join us as we explore this great Route 66 ghost town.
