State Route 64, also known as SR 64, is a highway in northern Arizona running from its western terminus in Williams to its junction with U.S. Route 89 in Cameron.

Route description

SR 64 serves as the entrance road to the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park; from Williams to Grand Canyon Village, the road travels in a north-south axis, and from Grand Canyon Village to Cameron, the road travels in an east-west axis. While the road is technically not considered a state route within national park boundaries, as it is maintained there by the National Park Service and not the Arizona Department of Transportation, it is marked as SR 64 in most maps and is considered unbroken for the purposes of numbering in the Arizona state highway system. SR 64 formerly extended past Cameron through to Teec Nos Pos; this designation has been superseded by U.S. Route 160.

From Tusayan to Valle, this road overlaps U.S. Route 180; segments of the road are also known as Navahopi Road, Rim Drive, and Bushmaster Memorial Highway.

History

SR 64 was first designated as a state highway in 1932 as a route from Williams to the Grand Canyon.
