traveling route 66

The "SNOWCAP" in Seligman, AZ. Best burger in State. They mess with you while you order making it a lot of fun

Your info says Denver, but you don't say which way you plan to go. We still haven't run from Albuquerque west, we got stopped at the balloons and ran out of time.

Yes, buy the EZ book and start planning.

It is a "Trip". Drive as much of the Mother Road as you can manage.

Limited access hiway means exactly that. Adding entrances and exits defeat the purpose.

Arizona... Seligman for lunch at the Road Kill Cafe....great food and interesting ambiance.....Holbrook AZ..wigwam motel of CARS fame....
Largest segment is in Oklahoma with over 400 miles. See the Blue Whale, and the Totem Pole park.

Do a google search and write to every state that the Mother Road runs through. Each State has tons of stuff to view before you get there.

A word of caution though, with the Interstates following parts of Route 66 we found a couple sections where we followed the Mother Road only to find the road simply ended and we had to back track. I don't know why the engineers couldn't have simply put in an on ramp where the road terminates....Dennis

Shamrock, Tx also has a lot of old 66 atmosphere. The U Drop Inn gas station has original restored gas station pumps, a visitor info station and a replica of the old stone Texas shaped markers that once welcomed you as you entered the state.

When you're "standin on a corner in Winslow, Arizona" there's a mural painted on a wall of the girl in a flatbed Ford from the Eagles song, and the 66 road sign in the intersection, plus a great shop of 66 memorabilia souvenirs.

Petrified Forest NP and Painted Desert has a 66 monument, and one of the old Harvey Hotels, the Painted Desert Inn, beautifully restored now used as a little museum.

As you drive along I-40, you'll see the old 66 pavement alongside in some places, weeds growing through.

No reason you can't take a trailer. In fact, there's a marker about 66 in Santa Fe on the sidewalk in front of the historic Trailer Ranch RV Park.

This us probably the best publication to get - Route 66: EZ66 Guide For Travelers - 3rd edition by Jerry McClanahan. This, a Google maps and other literature will highlight where you can and can't travel the original roadway.

Our height points:
Barstow and Needles CA, Kingman, Williams, Fkagstaff and Winslow, AZ, Albuquerque and Sante Fe ( not a lot of Route 66 history but nice city) NM, Adrian (midpoint of Route 66) and Amarillo (great RV museum) TX,
