📷 Top Attractions

No.1 Flagstaff
Snow Cap Drive-In
Snow Cap Drive-In, located on historic Route 66 near Sedona, Arizona, is one of the Mother Road's most legendary stops. Built in 1958 by Juan Delgadillo using scrap lumber and recycled car parts, this colorful little diner is famous for its witty signs and quirky decor. The entrance bears playful signs, while the interior overflows with joke placards, vintage license plates, and Route 66 memorabilia, all radiating Western cowboy humor. Juan became a Route 66 legend through his warm hospitality and unique personality, featured in numerous documentaries and books. The menu offers classic American drive-in fare: burgers, hot dogs, milkshakes, and chili cheese fries, simple yet full of nostalgic flavor. Now run by his family, it remains a must-visit pilgrimage site preserving the romance of American road culture.
