This place was really fun to explore and the snow made it all the more beautiful. It was very cold out, and by the end my fingers were so numb that I could barely hold the camera.
After it closed in the 90s, there was some talk of fixing the place up and reopening it, but nothing ever materialized. Now it's probably too late. The roof is caving in and everything's been pretty smashed up.
If you're going to visit Twin Arrows, be careful when you exit the freeway. The lot is blocked off by concrete barriers right along the road, so you have to park further down the road and walk back.
A noteworthy feature of this place is the Valentine Diner, a prefabricated restaurant made to resemble a dining car. They were popular from the '30s to the '60s, but few are still around today.
