Route 66

Route 66, Arizona.

Even historic Route 66 looks better with wildflowers! 

It is hard to believe this little road was once the main East / West highway to California.  I explored long sketches of the road through California and Arizona in 2005, and in many places you would rarely see another car.  It was kind of fun to try to imagine what this road was like back in its hay day.  It had to be some adventure crossing this country, especially in the summer.

Here are more Route 66 photos.

  1. It is interesting to imagine what it was like if only for how we take accessibility and travel conveniences for granted in many ways. I think it would be cool just to go sit in a spot in your photo and watch what comes by.

    Thanks Mark,

    I was hoping to get a shot with a car in it – I had to sit there for a long time just to see a car! But that was during the week. The weekends are far more interesting, and I did sit in a few places to see what would pass by. Not surprising, this road is very popular with people who have restored old cars. No one is on too fast of a pace – the road is the destination.

    Ron
