The essence of Americana, Route 66 is called the Mother Road but it's
America's Main Street, embodying small-town values with its local
stores, vintage service stations, neon signs, ghost towns, roadside
attractions, motels and diners.
Stretching from Chicago to Santa Monica over 2,400 miles and crossing
three time zones, it's the road for pioneering Americans migrating West
for a more prosperous life, and thus represents freedom, possibility,
new horizons and the intrepid American spirit. The best road trip of
them all, Route 66 is all about the journey, not the destination.
