Welcome to Holbrook, Arizona.
Holbrook, Arizona was a frontier town in 1881 and it has been a frontier town ever since. Only the theme has changed. In the 1880's, the frontiersmen were cowboys, cattle ranchers and railroaders who made Holbrook the center of ranch country. Today Holbrook is the frontier for modern explorers. The spectacular beauty and spirituality of Indian Country beckons travelers to pull off Interstate 40. When they do, they step into a different space and time, where ancient traditions and values provide a deep and rich perspective on life. Holbrook is a great home base for a tour of Navajo, Hopi and Apache country. Holbrook, Arizona, is just 28 miles from the Petrified Forest National Park. We are 3 1/2 hours West of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and 3 hours north of Phoenix, Arizona.
Holbrook is a community rich in History, Family Values, Diverse Landscapes, Recreation, and Friendly Neighbors. Everything you are looking for in a home town. There is just so much to see and do you have to spend the night. Petrified Forest National Park, the Painted Desert, Navajo Nation, Hopi Nation, Zuni Nation, White Mountain Apache, Canyon De Chelley National Monument, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Cholla Lake Park, Homolovi Ruins State Park, The Mogollon Rim, Walnut Canyon, Meteor Crater, Rock Art Canyon Ranch, Holbrook Historic Walking Tour, Navajo County Historical Museum, Route 66 Heritage, And More.
A variety of attractions surround Holbrook. To the north is the rugged plateau country with striking canyons containing prehistoric cliff-dwellings, such as those found in Canyon de Chelly. Much of the plateau country is Navajo and Hopi Reservation land. These reservations offer unique attractions including ceremonial dances, tribal events, and Indian arts and crafts.
The Petrified Forest National Park with petrified logs displaying an array of colors and the Painted Desert with formation of soft rock in many colors offer unique experiences to area visitors. The Historic Courthouse which houses the Museum and Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center is one of only two Richardsonian Romanesque courthouses in the state and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Special events during the year include the annual Hashknife Posse Pony Express Ride in January, Holbrook Old West Celebration in June, the annual Fireman's Barbeque on the Fourth of July, the "Gathering of Eagles" Native American art show in mid-July, the Navajo County Fair and Navajo County Horse Racing in September and the Festival of Trees and Christmas Parade of Lights in early December.
