Pine Breeze Inn, Route 66 & Easy Rider

The former Pine Breeze Inn and Richfield Gas Station

Some of the scenes in the classic movie Easy Rider were filmed on Route 66. One of those places was Bellemont, Arizona and the old Pine Breeze Inn. In the scene, Wyatt (Peter Fonda’s “Captain America” character) and Billy (played by Dennis Hopper) have ridden their motorcycles from Ballarat, California into the night almost to Flagstaff. They stop at the Pine Breeze Inn to get a room, but the proprietor, upon seeing their appearance and motorcycles, shuts the door on them and turns on the neon “NO VACANCY” sign. They are forced to get back on their cycles and head on down the road a bit to camp at some old ruined shacks. 

Lil Dude Troll couldn't pass up an opportunity to visit and pay homage to this historic site in an historic icon film.
