The backroads of Route 66 : your guide to adventures and scenic detours

Hinckley, Jim, 1958-2022
Book
This illustrated, up-to-date guide to the natural, cultural, and historical gems hidden just off the legendary Route 66 outlines 30 trips for curious travellers. Route 66 is arguably the world's most famous highway (more than 60% of Route 66 adventurers are from overseas!) - its motels, diners, and roadside attractions comprising a time capsule of America's love affair with the automobile. While many of the road's iconic attractions have disappeared with time (along with large stretches of the road itself), others are as enduring as ever. In this completely revised and updated version of 'The Backroads of Route 66', author and Route 66 expert Jim Hinckley is your guide from the lowlands of the American Plains to the high plateaus of New Mexico and Arizona, from the Great Lakes to the mighty Pacific Ocean, and through major metropolises and remote country towns.
