Route 66 was a mostly two lane highway that extended from Chicago to Los Angeles, through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before gradually giving up to the modern interstate. Most of the old pavement is still there, and can be followed with the right maps and directions. I drove the entire length of old 66 in 2012, and invite you to follow along!

New Mexico Route 66
The first buttes of a Route 66 trip appear almost immediately upon entering New Mexico. The eastern portion of the state is quite remote, and needless to say, I had the old road pretty much to myself.
