We’ve travelled Route 66 extensively stopping at almost every single vintage gas station, motel, old ruin, and obscure points of interest along the route. We’ve stayed at some iconic motels and dined at some great restaurants and diners along the way. We’ve also done a lot of research into the history of many of these places and will share all of that here on this Route 66 Online Travel Guide

I hope you’ll have as much fun as we did, and that you’ll find this information both interesting and helpful in planning your own Route 66 road trip.
