East < GO > West

This huge cross was built in 1995 by Steve Thomas of Pampa, Texas. At 190 feet tall it claims to be the tallest cross in the Northern Hemisphere. There site also includes a display of the Stations of the Cross.

This is pretty easy to spot whether you are on I-40 or Route 66. The Cross is on the west edge of Groom just south of I-40 at exit 112 / Hwy. 295. From the L.A. Motel take Western St. north to BB then west to the cross.

Did You Know:
Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
