Known as the Main Street of America and the Mother Road, U.S. Route 66 is the nation's best known highway. Once the microcosm of a culture increasingly connected by automobiles, its sights and attractions are now a fascinating reflection of a nation on the move. Travel this iconic highway through the heart of America with Route 66 Backroads as your guide. This lavishly illustrated book steers you from Chicago to Los Angeles, traveling through the lowlands of the American Plains and the high plateaus of New Mexico and Arizona, from the Great Lakes to the mighty Pacific Ocean, and through major metropolises and remote country towns.
Branch away from the Mother Road, and you encounter gems hidden beyond today's standard motels and tourist traps---the quaint frontier communities that date back to the nation's westward expansion; the legacy of ancient native cultures; and the awe-inspiring natural wonders that have graced these lands since time immemorial. State parks, wildlife refuges, museums, historic sites, literary landmarks, and much more are there to be explored within a few hours' drive from the path of Route 66. The fifty trips included here offer new travel opportunities for the thousands of road-trippers who follow this legendary route, looking for something more.

Route 66 Backroads: Your Guide to Backroad Adventures from the Mother Road
Not a guide to Route 66, but a guide to the side trips off Route 66 where you get to see the good stuff. It's an interesting way to plan a book, and I could see it being indispensible. If, for example, you were a person who decided to travel the entire route in a leisurely series of one to two week travels, you'd want to have this book along to goad you into getting off the interstate, the feeders, and the few stretches of the original road. You'd want to see museums, botanical gardens, lakes and volcano craters.
And it's gorgeous, too. Don't try to sit down with this and read it through, but definitely pick it up whenever you're planning a trip in those areas. My list of places I must go somewhere has doubled overnight.
