Understand
[
edit
]
As the nearest town to
Petrified Forest National Park
, and often gateway to
Meteor Crater
, Holbrook is small city focused on travelers - there are at least 10-20 hotels/restaurants/gas stations to choose among respectively. Excellent for travelers, but mostly for services and proximity to attractions, rather than as an attraction itself, though visitors following Route 66 will find it interesting.
