Route 66 Centennial Walking Tour
Most people drive Route 66 without ever knowing what's beneath their tires. The road turns 100 in 2026 and in Flagstaff, it's still the main street.
Do you know the three people who fought to bring Route 66 through Flagstaff instead of Phoenix? A priest who believed roads were holy work. An astronomer chasing Martians. A dying man from Chicago who built a city instead. Their stories are still on these streets, and your guide knows exactly where. During this two-hour walk, you'll cover both the original 1926 alignment and the 1934 reroute, roughly 1.3 miles through downtown Flagstaff and the historic Southside. Your guide connects every block to the people who shaped it. You'll stand in front of the DuBeau's neon tower, built to win a war with the Downtowner motel across the street. You'll pass a boarding house built for Basque sheepherders, the remains of an auto camp where the American family road trip was born, and the site of a 50-year gathering that drew 100,000 people to this road every Fourth of July. There are built-in photo stops throughout the route at iconic neon signs, vintage motels, and Route 66 landmarks. Your guide will point out the best angles and take group shots. Freaky Foot Tours has been Flagstaff's trusted storyteller since 2015. We’re family owned, locally operated, with five generations of Arizona roots behind every story we tell. Every story on this tour is originally researched. This tour is made possible with partial funding provided by the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona. Arizona has the longest drivable stretch of Route 66 in the country at 385 miles. Now you can walk the most storied mile and a half of it.
