Route 66 Holidays
Holiday on the Main Street of America: Drive through 8 States along legendary Route 66
Few roads are as well known as Route 66. Often known as “The Mother Road” or “Main Street of America”, Route 66 was established in 1926 as the first true interstate highway and soon became a busy route from Chicago to Los Angeles during the Great Depression as people travelled west in the hope of prosperity in California. As you will learn during your trip, these migrants often set up home along the route with cafes, gas stations and other businesses suited to the weary traveller.
Covering almost 2500 miles and eight US states, driving Route 66 is a road trip holiday like no other: it isn’t as much about reaching the destination, it is more about the journey itself and the people you meet on the way. You’ll drive through ghost towns which are now just a shadow of their former glory, you’ll drive narrow and rough roads and you’ll eat and perhaps stay in some restored buildings along the route which existed back in its heyday.
Many holiday companies include Las Vegas in their Route 66 trips as standard although “Sin City" was never actually part of the "Mother Road". We have a great selection of trips which take routes as close as possible to the original “Main Street of America” and other ones which do also include Las Vegas. Most of these itineraries also include a side trip to the Grand Canyon which is just 60 miles north of Route 66.
Remember: These are just a few example holidays. If you don’t see a suitable itinerary, please contact us and we will modify a trip or build an entire package for you, at no extra cost. We love building tailor made holidays!
