Route 66
2,451 Miles from Chicago to Santa Monica
Description:... "Get Your Kicks on Route 66 ... Brightly flashing diners, nostalgic gas stations, and awesome street cruisers: "America's Main Street" still attracts thousands of visitors every year. The road that was once supposed to create a faster connection between Chicago and the Pacific coast today offers the opposite: deceleration and leisure. The stops along Route 66 are far too interesting to ignore--you just have to stop and enjoy both the wilderness and the city life. Whether lively metropolises, like Santa Fe or Oklahoma City, legendary shrines of country music, including Barstow, or eerie ghost towns, such as Calico--the Mother Road runs through fascinating areas. And then there are the breathtaking natural attractions along the route: from the Wichita Mountains via the Mojave Desert and the Grand Canyon--the American West extends to the right and left of the road, inviting you to explore its last adventure playgrounds."--Back cover.
