WELCOME TO ROUTE 66
For a classic American road trip, nothing beats good ol’ Route 66. Nicknamed
the nation’s ‘Mother Road’ by novelist John Steinbeck, this string of
small-town main streets and country byways first connected big-
shouldered Chicago with the waving palm trees of Los Angeles in
1926.
Whether you seek to explore retro Americana or simply want to
experience big horizons and captivating scenery far from the madding
crowd, Route 66 will take you there. Mingle with farmers in Illinois
and country-and-western stars in Missouri; hear the legends of
cowboys and Indians in Oklahoma; visit Native American tribal
nations and contemporary pueblos across the Southwest, all the while
discovering the traditions of the USA’s indigenous peoples. Continue
by following the trails of miners and desperados deep into the Old
West. At road’s end lie the Pacific beaches of sun-kissed Southern
California.
