Review:
Route 66 was one of the United States crowning travel achievements of the mid-2oth century, stretching along a famed paved highway route between Chicago and Santa Monica. The 401-mile route is commonly referred to as the "Mother Road" by driving enthusiasts and Americana lovers, known for its kitschy roadside attractions as much as its beautiful driving expanses throughout the county's landscapes. Though much of the route has been converted into modern highways today, many of its roadside attractions and highway signs remain, still drawing driving enthusiasts in droves today. Throughout Arizona, the road's route is home to attractions like the unique Wigwam Village Motel, which famously lets visitors "Sleep in a Teepee." Along the way, visitors can explore delightful natural attractions like Painted Desert National Park, Black Mountain, and Meteor Crater.
