The streetlights along Route 66 throw long shadows across brick sidewalks as you step outside the Flagstaff Visitor Center. The Amtrak platform hums faintly behind you; the app cues a voice and the town’s history seems to lean in. You walk at your own pace, headphones on, phone lighting the way as stories of trains, hotel rooms and unexplained noises unfold beneath the pines.
