This section of the original Route 66 roadbed in East Flagstaff, Arizona, has been converted into an urban trail and is part of the Flagstaff Urban Trails System (FUTS). This short trail segment follows a portion of the historic road alignment and honors what was once part of the iconic “Main Street of America.”  Route 66 played a crucial role in the development and culture of the American West during the 20th century.  The urban trail is designed to accommodate a variety of users, including walkers, runners, cyclists, and skaters.  The trail provides scenic views of the surrounding landscape, including the ponderosa pine forests and volcanic mountains that characterize the Flagstaff area. This makes it not only a historical route but also a pleasant and picturesque place for outdoor activities.  Overall, the conversion of this section of the original Route 66 roadbed into an urban trail in East Flagstaff serves as a meaningful blend of historical preservation and modern recreational development.  The historical allure of Route 66 attracts tourists, boosting local tourism and contributing to the economy.
