4K Scenic Drive on US Route 66 | Barstow to Amboy, CA

US Route 66 is one of the first US highways established in 1926.
It runs from Chicago to Santa Monica, Los Angeles, through six states and was a major route to the West until the interstate highway system took over its role.
This drive begins in Barstow, CA, and heads to Amboy.
On the way to Amboy, you will spot several black hills in the barren desert.
Those are lava fields and scoria cone volcanoes.
It will be fun to drive on this road, imagining prehistoric times when those volcanoes were active and modern times when this road was the main road of the USA.
The historic road between Chambless and Needles is closed due to road deterioration.

Enjoyed this ride. Thank you. I can imagine trying to drive this in an old car back in the day. Say like in the 1940’s. It would be both scary and exhilarating. Cheers.

This Californian desert scenery is surreal.

[@vikbelthur]

Awesome video! I've always been fascinated by the California desert - so many cool things to discover.

Hi, beautiful drive, drove here on US 66 also during my RV road-trip in the West last year, just that the road was closed from Ludlow to Amboy, very nice to see it through the lenses of your camera. As usual, a great video, thanks a lot, greetings from a road-tripper from Germany!

Getting your kicks in old route 66! In 2 years, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Mother Road's creation!

Thank you .

[@mikioni]

Beautiful.

[@mukeshvig174]

The drives in Europe and Japan are so much fun to watch. You have to be careful selecting the routes in US or even Canada. Thanks

[@B_conic]

2:00 I used to go to that McDonald's during road trips

[@alexprincipeblu]

I saw that parallel to this road (at least in the initial part of the video) there is another one and it is the latter that is used by all motorists and trucks, while Route 66 is completely deserted.

[@djsekani]

That would be Interstate 40, which you may recognize from the Pixar movie Cars

[@damienfenton3880]

Great video. I've just subscribed. I'm curious, is your camera mounted inside or outside the car?

[@alan_g_c_8419]

Good

[@operius2385]

Truly love your videos! They are so relaxing and beatifull! I would like to know what are you driving in these videos? Is it a RV of some sort?

[@DashcamRoadshow]

I hired a Rogue when filming this video.

[@vividspace1225]

I am a creator who introduces Korea. This video is really cool. I'm also filming with this equipment.

[@gaicho]

もしかして1:43 辺りから 25:30 辺りまで左側ずっと操車場!?信号場!?鉄道施設が続いてる?それか本線上に何編成も待機してる状態?🤔タンク車、有蓋車、無蓋車、ホッパー車など混成貨物やら3重連の機関車が引っ張る迫力あるコンテナ2段積みのダブルスタックカーとか､しかも編成の最後尾にも機関車。生で見れて羨ましいですね✨私的には良い見どころです(笑)

[@keystonedriving8180]

There is a major BNSF (ex Santa Fe) freight yard in Barstow, out of sight to our left at the start. Union Pacific, the other large western US railroad operates over BNSF from Dagget to Barstow and on to San Bernadino and Los Angeles over Cajon Pass. UP locomotives are Yellow and BNSF are orange. Looks like BNSF was having a bad day with trains blocking back from Barstow to Dagget. I drove this route from Barstow to Needles back in 1978, old route 66 pretty much ran close to railroad all the way from Hesperia (south of Barstow) to a little west of Albuquerque (New Mexico). Lots of trains moving fast through the desert but very few people, I maybe saw about 20 people all day.

[@beifeiteCampingtentfactory]

interesting

[@ProtegeTuype]

Why it's looks like Terminator 2 gas station?

[@palmsofdestin1]

And when you get tired of the first 500 mi of dirt and rocks, it's yet another 500 mi of dirt and rocks.

[@matanet2715]

[@palmsofdestin1]

It's dirt and rocks

[@user-uh2xf6yq6l]
