Route 66 – Chicago to Santa Monica

Route 66 is more than just a road – it's a living piece of American cultural history that stretches from Chicago's vibrant city life to the Pacific waves at Santa Monica Pier. Along the way, you'll cross eight states and experience changing landscapes from green plains and small towns in the Midwest to deserts and dramatic rock formations in Arizona and California. Stop at iconic landmarks like Cadillac Ranch in Texas, where colorful cars are buried in the ground as art installations, and relish the ambiance of old diners with neon lights, milkshakes, and classic burgers. The journey culminates at Santa Monica Pier, where Route 66 officially ends, and the sunset over the Pacific marks the conclusion of an unforgettable adventure filled with nostalgia, freedom, and genuine road trip romance.
