In this Easter weekend special episode of 'Rosie on the House,' host Rosie welcomes award-winning Arizona travel writer Roger Naylor to explore the state's hidden gems and best one-day adventures. The conversation dives deep into Naylor’s latest books, including the newly released 'Arizona Route 66 Road Trip' and the updated 'Arizona Boots and Burgers,' both celebrating the state’s small-town charm, local eateries, and scenic hiking trails. Naylor shares the inspiring story of how Arizona revived Route 66 through grassroots efforts led by a barber, Angel Delgadillo, and emphasizes the importance of slowing down, embracing simple, authentic experiences, and reconnecting with nature and community. From the surreal landscapes of Chiricahua National Monument and the moon-like Blue Mesa Trail in Petrified Forest to quirky roadside attractions like Poozium—the world’s largest dinosaur poop museum—Naylor paints a vivid picture of Arizona’s underrated treasures. The episode also highlights family-friendly day trips like Lake Pleasant, Montezuma Castle, and the Titan Missile Museum, all while advocating for a life rich in curiosity, exploration, and joy.
