U.S. Route 66: A Journey for Travelers Seeking “Americana”

U.S. Route 66: A Journey for Travelers Seeking “Americana”

Route 66 takes motorists into America’s nostalgic past—heartwarming, kitschy and sometimes funny. Those searching for the “Real America”—the regional accents, local culinary treats and the generous people happy with things just as they are—can find it on Route 66. It’s not the most efficient route west for drivers, but it offers a glimpse into a time when traveling meant exploration rather than simply reaching a destination.
