It spans 2,400 miles, crosses eight states and three time zones, and enlists you for at least three weeks. The epitome of an American road trip, Route 66 takes you east to west, from Chicago to Santa Monica, Los Angeles, tracing the development of the pioneering country. The original road no longer exists unbroken, but as a road trip the route holds strong. It will take you through small-town America and past some of the most obscure attractions in the country.
