Route 66: 20 Great Stops on the Road Trip

If you are interested in seeing more of this road trip, I started posting videos from each state in this playlist youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO6_l08lsWOggzNbH57Mrlc…

In the 50’s, my mom drove my brother and I, coast to coast, using Route 66, many times, as my dad was career Navy. Norfolk Va. to San Diego, every two and a half years. Wow, what a trip. Fantastic video thanks!

Awesome road trip! I lost my dad 3 years ago and I wish we done stuff like this together while he was around. I’m glad you are able to make these awesome memories together.

I am working on a full hour-long video on the entire trip that my dad and I took, as well as written content to help with the planning for a Route 66 trip as well. Hopefully, I will have that done by the middle of November and it will all get posted to this channel. Thanks for the support with this video!

I am indian still have feelings for this place it seemed to be awesome...

Oh my gosh. That brings back beautiful memories. I’m 64 now, but my family and I used to travel the old Rt. 66 when we took our 2 week road trips to California from here in Michigan. We stayed in the original old motels in places like Amarillo and Tucumcari. We stopped at every Stuckeys roadside store to buy snacks and souvenirs . Ate in the restaurant that was built over the Will Rodgers turnpike. Wish I could turn back time for one more of those trips. Thank you gentlemen for taking down memory lane. I’ve shared this video with my family. 💕

I love America ❤️ I wish that i could live there 😭 U should be very appreciated for living in such a beautiful country God bless you all 🙏

My 14 year old daughter and I drove the first part of Route 66. We stopped in Holbrook Arizona to go South to visit my Cousin. We drove as much of Route 66 as we could and stopped at every place we could. We promised when she gets her drivers license we are going to finish our run from Holbrook to the Pacific Ocean. See my husband and I talked about retiring, buying an RV and heading out West Via Route 66 but he died 2 years ago. She jumped from the cliff at Blue Hole, spray painted a Cadillac. It is the greatest adventure ever!! Glad you and your Dad got to travel it together!! Thank you for sharing!!

I'm an old 66 roadie having driven the old road dozens of times back in the 80's when the road was being re-discovered visited a lot of places that no longer exist

Williams, AZ is pretty cool too. Reminded me of Radiator Springs.

I retired in 2015 after spending 38 years OTR as a coast to coast truck driver/owner operator. It amazes me when I think about all of the places I have seen in the course of my job over the years, but, yet so many places I haven't . I will be going back on the road soon to live out my life full time and cannot wait to see all of these places you showed in your video plus so many others! Thanks for the ride and tour! Have a blessed day!

I remember traveling on RT 66 back in the '50s from central Oklahoma to California with my Dad. We made several trips in both directions back then. It was the only way to go in those days. Freeways were scarce outside of the larger cities. To my knowledge there were no interstates then. 66 seemed to be mostly 2 lanes. It seems like I remember there being 3 lanes through the Texas panhandle. The center lane was the "suicide lane" for passing.

Thank you so much for this video. When I was in my mid-teens I rode along with my mom dad and sister going to the Southwest on Route 66. So many good memories. No air conditioning but we have plenty of ice. That was where I saw one of my first of 40 UFOs. I'm 85 now and wish I could do it again.❤

hotels you stayed at along the drive and hours driven per day are much appreciated. Tks

The only reason why I know what Route 66 is. Cars.

Wonderful video! We are traveling Route 66 backwards, right now. Started May 5 at Santa Monica & just got to Gallup! We love the history & we are exploring everything we can! You two are awesome!

"The Dog House" in Albuquerque, New Mexico is without a doubt "THE BEST" in the world!!! Although living on the other side of town it was a road trip in itself just to get there. When in Albuquerque, it's worth the stop! Travel Route 66 whenever I can. Very nice to see such a resurgence of roadside attractions. Enjoyed the video. Thanks!

As someone that has recently retired this is on the top of my list to do, Drive the entire length of Route 66. Watching videos like yours helps me to decide where to go, and what to see, thanks.

My Mom and Dad took me down RT 66 from Cincy Ohio to Las Vegas every year from 1955 to 1960. we stopped at most every attraction, my favorite was the "Cliff Dwellings" and the Alligator Farm.

I live in Kingman, Arizona and work at the Mohave Museum of History and Arts. Kingman is A MUST on any Route 66 road trip. We have great food, vintage shopping, lots of turquoise, fascinating historic museums and many points of interest. In and around Kingman, you can find many points of interest, such as the Grand Canyon Caverns near Peach Springs, Hackberry General Store (the model for Lizzy's souvenir store in the movie "Cars"), Giganticus Headicus at Antares Point, Hualapai Mountain Park and much more. Never bypass Kingman! You'll miss the heart of the longest uninterrupted stretch of Route 66!
