VR Panorama taken where suspected dirt '66 comes in from the east (originating from under I-40 near Navajo) and intersects Pinta Road north of I-40. It proceeds WSW to be cut by I-40 and then back WNW into the boundary of the Painted Desert and follows along paved 66 and then the south rim of the Painted Desert to the Painted Desert Inn where it proceeds westbound. It appears to be drivable by high clearance vehicles (which a Mustang is not!) ('07) |
VR Panorama taken where paved '66 comes in from the east (Navajo) and intersects the trail from the Pinta Road exit off I-40. |
VR Panorama taken from the southeast corner of the Painted Desert Trading Post. The trading post is located on the western portion of abandoned 66 accessible from Pinta Road. ('08) |

VR Panorama taken inside of a small yet stoutly built round building west of the bridge. No particular purpose was evident but its heavy construction implies some kind of secure storage/armory or perhaps a ceremonial hogan. ('08) |

VR Panorama taken from 20's and 30's 66 on the west side of Bellemont. The warehouses that can be seen in the distance were built on the south side of 40's 66 but right in the middle of the abandoned 20's and 30's 66 roadbed. ('08) |

There is no evidence of any fencing except some old barbed-wire and the wood fence posts that were attached to the crossing. The connecting road from the 20's roadbed connects in just to the left of the cattle guard. ('08) |
|

|

VR Panorama taken from on top of a pile of dirt blocking the end of the bypassed old 66 railroad bridge. ('08) |
VR Panorama taken down between the old 66 bridge and the more modern replacement. The view under the bridge shows the significant repairs it had some point. Looking at the corrosion streaks it is understandable why it was replaced. ('08) |

VR Panorama taken under the east side overhang at Delgadillo's Snow Cap in Seligman. ('08) |
VR Panorama taken in the small memorial park behind the Snow Cap. There are numerous classic vehicles and a small seating area under the trees. ('08) |
