Route 66
About Route 66
Before the Interstate paved the way, Route 66 was the Main Street of America. You'll find plenty of history, nostalgia and the longest original stretch of the Mother Road in Arizona - much of it preserved by the locals who lived it. Along the route, stop in at Oatman (ghost, gunfights and wild burros), Kingman (Powerhouse Museum), Peach Springs (capital of the Hualapai Nation and home to the Skywalk), Seligman (Delgadillo's Snow Cap), Williams (Grand Canyon Railway), Flagstaff (3rd largest city in Arizona), Winslow (La Posada and Rock Art Ranch) and Holbrook (Wigwam Motel and Petrified Forest National Monument).
