Get your kicks on Route 66 on a cross-country journey from Chicago to Los Angeles. Known as the “Main Street of America,” Route 66 passes through eight states and connects many of the towns, cities, and roadside landmarks that helped define American road travel.

Travel along much of the original route, visiting Route 66 museums, classic roadside attractions, and communities that preserve the history of the Mother Road. Along the way, experience a signature event in Springfield, Illinois - attend the annual Mother Road Festival, where classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, live entertainment, and Route 66 celebrations fill the downtown streets.

The journey also includes a detour to Grand Canyon National Park, where you'll experience one of the country's most spectacular natural landscapes, as well as time in Las Vegas to explore the city's famous resorts, entertainment, and attractions. Optional excursions include Hoover Dam and a rafting adventure through Black Canyon on the Colorado River.

Complete your Route 66 adventure in Santa Monica at the historic "End of the Trail" sign before discovering some of Los Angeles' most famous sights, including Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and the Sunset Strip. From roadside Americana and historic landmarks to iconic cities and the Mother Road Festival, this journey celebrates one of America’s most legendary road trips.
