But they disappeared. A couple decades ago, several small-scale dinosaurs appeared along Interstate 40 near this city. But they also vanished. Holbrook, however, maintains a strong relationship with the big earth-stompers because some of them are still visible.

In the old days they used to say that anyone who visited the Grand Canyon and didn't meet Captain John Hance had missed half the show. For some 20 years, Cap Hance provided lying and lodging for the tourists. His brand of humor was a windy nature.

The large sculpture stands 32 feet tall, sits atop a six-foot base and is painted yellow, so he's probably one of the main reasons tourists stop to check out the variety of goods offered inside.

It's not nearly as big as the real thing in the Black Hills of South Dakota, but there's no admission fee and, for the same price, visitors also get to look at replicas of King Kong climbing the Empire State Building, the Eiffel Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge, all in less-than-actual sizes.

This relatively small slit, hidden amongst boulders, will take you there. Just large enough to accommodate a grown a man, this doorway leads to a mile-long lave tube.
