Estate sale find today. Grand Falls, Arizona, north of Winslow and definitely worth the short side trip from Route 66. Travel brochures from the 50s and 60s tout Grand Falls as a local destination for travelers along Route 66.

Grand Falls is intermitent, best during summer monsoon season, dry during the winter. The canyon of the little Colorado River was dammed by a lava flow, forcing the river to divert and spill over its own canyon wall.

Grand Falls is taller than Niagra Falls, for comparison. The photo is dated 7/39. Included is a more recent snap, also for comparison.
