Route 66 was the first national paved highway to cross the American West, and your caravan of fellow adventurers is limited to 20 vehicles as you follow the best stretches of the original Route 66 from Chicago to the Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles. Austin Coop has personally traveled Route 66 over 100 times during the last 10 years and he knows all the old filling stations, vintage diners, roadside attractions and other historic sites worth checking out. Along the 2,400-mile itinerary are stops at several natural wonders and two national parks including the Grand Canyon! At the end of the journey is Los Angeles and the Santa Monica Pier.


As you travel across the country on America’s original Mother Road, you’ll cross historic two-lane bridges, cruise through small towns, and experience all those quirky roadside attractions that Route 66 is known for. Your tour guides will show you the famous Cadillac Ranch, the Leaning Tower of Britten in Groom, Texas, and Arizona’s Hackberry General Store. You’ll gaze in wonder during the stop at the Grand Canyon, and you might even find yourself humming the famous Eagles song as you’re “Standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.” There is so much to see and do during each of the 13 days.
