Where History and Mystery Collide by The_Eagle If you are in the area, Two Guns Ruins and the Apache Death Cave are interesting historical sites near Meteor Crater. Two Guns, a once-thriving Route 66 Wild West tourist attraction, offers visitors a taste of the Old West with ruins of a zoo, gift shop, and campground from the mid-20th century. The Two Guns site was originally named after the Canyon in the area, which was said to resemble a "two-gunned" figure.
The Apache Death Cave, which is part of this site, holds a darker history. In the late 1800s, during conflicts between the Apache and Navajo, a group of Apaches took refuge in this cave, which ultimately became their tomb. Legend has it that they were killed off or suffocated by a fire set at the cave's entrance.
