Classic Route 66 Tours

Find Yourself Trail Blazing Historic Route 66 - The legendary highway that stretches almost 2400 miles from Chicago to LA takes the driver across 8 states via some amazing and diverse scenery. Originally made up by Native American trails it became Covered Wagon trails and then was used as the route for the steam powered steel horse and finally the road for the automobile. 

From humble beginnings in 1926 to its final decommissioning in 1985 this concrete and asphalt ribbon became a vital arterial for a growing nation. The depression years saw hundreds of thousands flee the dust bowl of central USA toward the hopes and dreams of California. It became known as the “Mother Road” when John Steinbeck wrote of it in Grapes of Wrath and then later in the heady post war years it truly was “The Main Street of America” as it past right down the main streets of the many towns it passed through.

Written into many popular songs and celebrated on TV shows and in the Movies this historical highway has become widely known of. Now this wonderful relic of a bygone era is in places totally extinct with the asphalt torn up and cattle grazing where families once journeyed. In many other places locals have banded together to preserve Route 66 and what it has become to mean, so those of us can enjoy it today.

This now rarely used road takes those that seek it out on a pleasant tour of yesterday with its quiet meandering ways through ghost towns and small centers where Mom & Pop businesses struggle to scratch out a living.  Long banished to the Interstate Highway is the heavy traffic that once plied its way to and fro along this fabled road.

Stories abound at every turn with the people that made their living along the road as they remember the days it hummed with life and love. The romance of the road and of the road trip calls, so come get your kicks and allow us to guide you down one of the great memory lanes and introduce you to this most famous of roads. Route 66
