Established in 1926, the legendary road stretched 2,448 miles from Chicago, Ill., to anta Monica, Calif. In bad times, migrants fleeing the Dust Bowl in the 1930s traveled on Route 66 to California, their cars weighed down by possessions and unrealized dreams. In good times, World War II veterans saw the road as a path to freedom, loading their families into cars to explore the Americana of smalltown Route 66, California s sunny beaches and Disneyland. While it was completely decommissioned in 1985 and replaced by five interstates, you can still drive on the remnants of one of the nation s most iconic highways. In Chicago, you'll find a sign marking the start of Historic Route 66 at Adams treet and Michigan Avenue. From there, you'll pass through the quirky small towns that lined the original route in Illinois, Missouri, TX 66 KY Tulsa AR TN Oklahoma City Dallas M Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. As you stop in towns like Williams, Ariz., and eligman, Ariz., you'll realize they have done the impossible. They have frozen time, offering the past as a present-day experience. You'll hear it at the vintage gas stations playing 1960s music. You'll taste it in your homemade root beer and hamburger in 1950s-style diners like Mr. D'z in Kingman, Ariz. You'll feel it as you drive the open two-lane road that cuts through some of the country's vast stretches of prairie and desert. Beatnik writer Jack Kerouac may have captured the experience best in On the Road when he wrote,... all the golden lands ahead of you and all kinds of unforseen events wait lurking to surprise you and make you glad you re alive to see. What follows are some of the road's highlights, particularly when your wheels traverse New Mexico and Arizona, home to the longest uninterrupted stretch of Historic Route 66.

7 HITORIC ROUTE 66 HOLBROOK, ARIZ., TO WINLOW, ARIZ. 33 miles, 32 minutes Explore Meteor Crater TANDIN' ON THE CORNER PARK IN WINLOW, ARIZ. RENAIANCE TOWN In Winslow, see the best eras of the outhwest brought back to life from Native American lore to Route 66. It can be argued that Winslow, Ariz., was saved by a song and a boarded-up hotel slated for demolition. For years, Winslow was the celebrated heart of northern Arizona. Beginning in 1917, it was home to a Hubble Trading Post warehouse, part of a vast trading empire of Native American wares. It served as headquarters for the anta Fe Railway. It was home to the finest Harvey Hotel in the outhwest, La Posada, which opened in 1929 to the tune of $40 million in today s dollars. And Route 66 ran right through downtown. But people stopped traveling by train, La Posada shut its doors in 1957 and Route 66 was decommissioned in 1985 and replaced by I-40 that bypassed Winslow. And contrary to the 1972 Eagles hit song Take It Easy that put Winslow on the pop culture map, there was nothing easy about these changes. Today, Winslow is in the midst of a renaissance, having revived some of its most iconic attractions. Pull over to visit tandin on the Corner Park featuring a bronze sculpture of a man standing on a corner and a vibrant trompe l oeill-style mural of a girl in a flatbed Ford. You also can dine or sleep in the stunning 54-room La Posada Hotel restored by Allan Affeldt, his wife, artist Tina Mion, and hotel general manager, Daniel Lutzick. It was Affeldt who read about La Posada 23 years ago when it appeared on the National Trust for Historic Preservation s endangered list. He traveled from Laguna Beach, Calif., to see the hotel designed by visionary architect Mary Jane Colter and instantly fell in love. lated for demolition, Affeldt convinced the railway to sell it to him. In the hotel, you ll find the awardwinning Turquoise Room restaurant run by James Beard-nominated chef John harpe. But don t miss Winslow's stretch of Route 66, which has the original concrete roadway on 2nd and 3rd treets. Rather than pave over it, Winslow residents decided to grind up the old pavement and reuse it. It really means something for people to stand on the original Route 66 roadway, says Bob Hall, CEO of Winslow Chamber of Commerce. There are also 12 art galleries.

It's as deep as a 60-story building and as wide as 20 football fields. More than 2 million fans could watch games from the crater rim. But to really comprehend the vastness of Meteor Crater near Winslow, Ariz., it's worth pulling off I-40 to see it yourself. When the meteor hit Earth 50,000 years ago, it left a crater that remains the best preserved impact site on Earth. "What people do not realize is that experiments still take place here," says Dwayne Virgint, general manager of Meteor Crater Enterprises. "A few years ago, a Mars rover found some rocks. Within days, scientists were here to investigate whether those rocks were the same as those found here." Visitors can gaze at the crater from viewpoints and bask in the airconditioned visitor center to watch a 10-minute film, see fascinating exhibits and learn about the astronauts who trained there.

Just three miles from Winslow lies Homolovi tate Park where you can stretch your legs, tour ancient ruins and spend the night in the campground under dark night skies.

Few know that Egyptian camels are to credit for helping break trail on what would 75 years later become Route 66. Valued as a winterproof route across the outhwest to California, Route 66 would become one of America s most iconic roads. There's no better place to learn of its storied history than to pull off Route 66 in Kingman, Ariz., and visit the Arizona Route 66 Museum. Its extremely well-done exhibits tell the story of the road through the people who traveled it with incredible artifacts and photographs. It's right across from the legendary Mr. D'z Route 66 Diner whose staff has been flipping burgers since Until people go through the museum, they don t really see the big picture, says Joshua Noble of Kingman's tourism department. We really fill in the blanks. You'll see heartbreaking photos and lifesized depictions of the Dust Bowl refugees and whimsical stories of post-world War II America. There s even an exhibit on the legendary Burma-have signs that lined the route, promoting Al Odell s father s ailing shaving cream business with silly sayings like He's nifty and thrifty looks 30 at 50. Initially, it was about nostalgia, says Noble about people traveling on Historic Route 66. But now it s part of a cheap and easy family road trip. It s not just about going to Disneyland or going to Phoenix for spring training. People want to experience the drive as well as each destination.
