Eagles, Craters & the Apache Death Cave on Route 66 | History Traveler Episode 372

Part 11 of the Route 66 Series |

The Arizona stretch of Route 66 has some of the most interesting and iconic stops along the entire road. In this episode, we're standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona which served as the inspiration for the song "Take It Easy" by the Eagles before driving down the road to look at a giant meteor crater that was used as a training ground for the NASA astronauts. We're also diving into a place known as the "Apache Death Cave" before driving to our final destination in a town that has some of the most of the most unique locals that you'll ever see. Fun times!
