About Travel & Places

Route 66 stretches roughly 2,400 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica, threading through eight states and some of the most storied landscapes in America. Travelers on the Mother Road have always passed the same markers: the wink of a neon motel sign at dusk, a chrome-trimmed diner stool, a filling station rising out of the sage and red dirt. The road carries the feeling that somewhere ahead, past the mesa and the cactus, the horizon holds something worth driving toward.
