This road traverses the Waputki National Monument in Arizona, not far from the Grand Canyon.  Wupatki Road.(Another image of the road was posted February 12, 2012.) This road and the Wupatki Ruins were locations in the great 1969 film “Easy Rider”, featuring Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, and Jack Nicholson. After picking up a hitchhiker (in the Sunset Crater Volcano Monument just to the south of Wupatki), Wyatt (Dennis Hopper) and Billy (Peter Fonda) take this road through the Wupatki reservation. The group camps for the night in the ruins of the Wupatki Pueblo. (*)

Here is an image of the Wupatki ruins, originally posted on February 12, 2012.
