Well, it’s time to put the top down and rev up your engine; we are getting ready to go for a cruise across the great state of Missouri on the historic Route 66! If you were not around during hay day of the original Route 66 don’t worry there are still plenty of memorable stops along the way.
Missouri does have many huge tourist areas and there are almost unlimited points of interest in the state. However, we are going to highlight the points that are actually on or just a hop-skip-and-jump off of the Mother Road. We will see if we can find something for everyone in our travels, because we know that every Route 66 traveler is looking for something special, different and unique!
For the most part we will try to steer clear of the big well-known locations that everybody has already heard of. We want to let you see something that not everybody and there dog has already seen on your cruise. So strap yourself in and let’s get started in one of Missouri’s most famous cities St. Louis.

Texas is the largest state in the union. However, as it turns out Route 66 only cuts through a small portion of this state. Texas is so huge it is about the same size as the whole country of France. The square top part of the state that sticks up from the rest, referred to as the panhandle, is where our travels will be taking us through Texas. The roads have changed a lot in a few areas of Texas; many areas of the original Route 66 have been bypasses by newer and larger highways. Don’t worry, there are plenty of markers on the road to help keep the Route 66 travelers of today on track as they make there way across the state. However, having a map handy might not be a bad idea either, because there are some zigzags that you won’t want to miss.
Our Route 66 cruise through Texas will take us about 175 miles and will be filled with some great historical towns on the way. There is still almost 150 miles of the original Route 66 road left to cruise on and you will notice the new interstate 40 run parallel with us most of the way right to the north of our Route 66 path. There is only one really big town we will make our way through and that will be on the crossroads of interstate 40 and interstate 27 where Amarillo is found.
We have made it a long way since we started our cross-country cruise in Chicago, Illinois and we have a long way to go, so buckle up and lets see where the best stops are in Texas on Route 66.

Arizona, well known for its Sun Valley and real southwestern culture, is going to be one of the last states we make it through on Route 66. Arizona is also well known for its deserts, but there is a lot more in this great state than sand. We will outline some of the best stops in this state for Route 66 cruisers of all ages. We are going to cross some of the most picture worthy territory on the whole Mother Road as we go though Arizona, so make sure to pack extra film or an extra memory stick for you camera.
From cactus to cliffs, from ancient ruins to volcanoes, you will be sure to see a lot of amazing scenery on this strip of Route 66. This will be the second to last stop on our Route 66 as we wind down our all American tour across the country on the amazing Mother Road. There are still plenty of cool places to visit, eat and rest along the way. We have a lot of land to cover before we get to California, so buckle up and lets hit the road!
