What to expect

10m

One of the most spectacular sections of Route 66 is in Arizona’s craggy Black Mountains, just before the border with California. This is where the road corkscrews its way up to Sitgreaves Pass, taking in 191 curves, spectacular Mojave Desert views, and plenty of tumbleweeds as you go.
Kingman
15m

Smack in the middle of Route 66's longest stretch of remaining blacktop, Kingman is a must-stop on any road trip.
Seligman
15m

East of Kingman is a string of quirky sights like the Hackberry General Store and the country’s deepest underground hotel room (Grand Canyon Caverns).
Williams
10m

Smack in the middle of the world’s largest swathe of ponderosa pine forest is the tiny town of Williams. In October 1984, it was the last town along Route 66 to be bypassed by the interstate.
Flagstaff
15m

A historic downtown and great restaurants are what draw folks to Flagstaff—the highest town on Route 66 (at nearly 7,000 feet)—but it’s the combo of culture and amazing outdoors activities that might make you want to relocate.
Winslow
10m

Standin on a corner in Winslow, Arizona…Maybe you’ve heard the tune before? Even with its classic rock street cred, this little town remains one of eastern Arizona’s overlooked gems.
Holbrook
Pass by

The town that once proudly proclaimed it was “too tough for women and churches” and which has a street that is actually called Bucket of Blood may not sound like an appealing destination, but we guarantee the outlaws are now long gone.
