Welcome to Desert Marmot...
A site about everything in the American West (and especially southwest) that is not in a big city and has nothing to do with asparagus (I hate asparagus). Other than that, it is pretty much wide open. Select 'About' from the menu bar to learn more about what you have got yourself into or click 'Trips and Pics' for photos and stories of travels around the west.

Posted photos from an epic two-week white water rafting trip through the Grand Canyon in the Trips and Pics section. It was a long enough trip, that I have divided it into two parts: Lee's Ferry to Phantom Ranch and Phantom Ranch to Diamond Creek. It was an amazing trip with big rapids, side-canyon hikes, waterfalls, and the always dramatic canyon scenery.

--- PLACE OF THE MONTH ---
Snow Cap Cafe
Seligman, AZ
|
|
With the completion of I-40, smaller towns along the old Route 66 fell into decline. In Seligman, the Delgadillo brothers (Juan and Angel) helped turn the tide by celebrating and promoting the unique culture and history of America's 'Mother Road'. Their now-famous Snow Cap Cafe helped launch the Route 66 nostalgia movement and brought some attention (and tourist dollars) back to the small towns. Aside from its historic role, the cafe is famous for its quirky sense of humor (be sure to ask for a straw) and tasty treats. The Snow Cap is definitely worth the detour.
