Sitgreaves Pass

The summit of Sitgreaves Pass, at an elevation of 3556 ft, affords quite a view of the surrounding country. From here you can see four states, California, Nevada, Utah and of course Arizona. Right at the top of the pass there is a pull off that you can stop at to really enjoy the view. On the right-hand side of the road (going west) just before the summit on the Cool Springs side of the pass you can see the foundations of a building - all that is left of an old gas station and ice cream parlor that once serviced the weary traveler on this portion of Route 66. From this spot if you look down the canyon back the way you just came you might be able to make out a faint trail hugging the left hillside. That faint trace is all that is left of the Old Beale Wagon Road. Imagine the history that passed this way!
