First time I traveled the full length of Rt 66 was in 1952 in a blue 1951 Henry J. Dad was in the Air Force and we were stationed in Mich. when he got orders for Korea so we hit the end in Ill. and went all the way to the end. He had 30 days to make it to Travis AFB Cali. so we took our time and went everywhere along the route. I was 7 at the time. I now live in Kingman AZ., matter of fact if you had stood in the parking lot and looked north up Grandview Ave. you could have almost have seen my house. We stayed in some of the motels you saw along your trip. Those were indeed fun times of my life.

After some health issues in may of 2018, my wife surprised me with a trip taking the entire mother road (Route 66) from Chicago to Santa Monica! Wonderful! Came back to our home (Wisconsin) along the top of the country. Stopped at Grand Canyon, painted desert, petrified forest, meteor crater, Yosemite, grand Teton, Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore, what a trip! Notable towns; Virginia city, Williams, and Deadwood!

Awesome video! I just wanted to say that although I really enjoy the sights in this video, I enjoy the father-son relationship even more. It's not the fancy thing you saw that's important, it's whom you saw it with and seeing their reaction to it that matters. That's what you'll remember later in life. You can tell from your dad's reactions that he understands this very well. Keep on truckin'!

La Posada is the crowning masterpiece of the work of Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter, the early 20th century architect and decorator who laid the foundations of today’s Santa Fe style. Rescued from demolition when the artist Tina Mion and her husband purchased it in the 1990s, La Posada and its grounds have been restored to their former glory and are the cornerstone of La Posada National Historic District. A must-see when visiting Winslow!

Williams and Flagstaff are 2 of my favorite stops in AZ. Flagstaff is a great summer getaway from the blast furnace that's summer in Las Vegas. One nice little "off the beaten path" detour for anyone taking Hwy. 93 between Vegas and Kingman is the old mining town of Chloride, AZ. It's about 20 miles north of Kingman and its known for the rock murals just outside of town.

Eagles - Take It Easy Lyrics from album: Eagles (1972) Well, I'm running down the road Tryin' to loosen my load I've got seven women on my mind Four that wanna own me Two that wanna stone me One says she's a friend of mine Take it easy Take it easy Don't let the sound of your own wheels Drive you crazy Lighten up while you still can Don't even try to understand Just find a place to make your stand And take it easy Well, I'm a standing on a corner In Winslow, Arizona And such a fine sight to see It's a girl, my lord In a flatbed Ford Slowin' down to take a look at me Come on, baby Don't say maybe I gotta know if your sweet love Is gonna save me We may lose and we may win Though we will never be here again So open up, I'm climbin' in And take it easy Well I'm running down the road Tryin' to loosen my load Got a world of trouble on my mind Lookin' for a lover Who won't blow my cover She's so hard to find Take it easy Take it easy Don't let the sound of your own wheels Make you crazy Come on baby Don't say maybe I gotta know if your sweet love Is gonna save me Oh oh oh Oh we got it easy We oughta take it easy

Great video Jason. Arizona is probably my 2nd favorite Route 66 state with Oklahoma. On my cross county trip with my Dad in 1994 we had Navajo tacos for lunch in Oatman. In Flagstaff we were there during Oktoberfest and had beer and sausages. Monte Vista was a great lodging choice. The Grand Canyon was celebrating its 75th anniversary that day and my Dad was surprised that I didn’t insist on going there, but this was a dedicated Route 66 trip and we only had so much time. Had pie at Miz Zip’s on our way out of town. Did sleep in the Holbrook WigWams and took the side trip to Painted Desert/Petrified Forest. We got up at o’ dark thirty to take sunrise photos of painted desert, but unfortunately they lock the gate at night. There was a Route 66 event being held at Two Guns when we were there. On a subsequent visit a couple years later I actually got my haircut by Angel Delgadillo who was semi-retired even then. I pledged to never get my haircut again, but that only worked out for so long. BTW/ at that time the Hackberry General Store was operated by Bob Waldmire, but we passed by because it was after hours. That is one of the most realistic things about your Route 66 series - you can’t see everything on one trip - because of time of day, day of week, time of year or just because they happen to be closed. Keep up the great work.

Great Video! as a kid, in the 60's and 70's every summer, my dad would take us from San Diego, hit up the 66 and we'd follow it, getting back on what ever freeway we were near on our way to Virginia. I didn't appreciate it at the time :( I'm planning on doing the Arizona 66 tour this spring, so thank you for the info.

Thanks for showcasing our little slice of heaven, we here in Arizona love Route 66 and hope you enjoyed it. I’m based in Kingman, which is actually the largest city next to the Grand Canyon. It’s only a 40 min drive to “Grand Canyon West” and where you can access the “Sky Bridge”. I’ll say from oatman to seligman is one of my favorite roads to drive on in all of America.

Another thing is that the reservation you drove through called “peach springs” is the tribe who owns and operates the Grand Canyon: The Hualapai Nation. And the town of Valentine, holds a wildlife preserve called “Keepers of the wild” and have many rescued circus animals and such. They’re great people, not at all like a zoo or anything of that nature.

We took cross country trips every few years, and my parents, my sister and I would eagerly look for the next set of signs. It's awesome to see them again along Route 66.

I took Route 66 in 1959. The current locations are but a shadow of what I remember at age 9yrs. We were taking the ' highway of hope' to settle in California. Like a few, however , we found the journey to be incredible but California dream for us was illusive. We left a year later and again took Route 66. It didn't matter the direction the fun was still there. This uplifting was journey helped heal the broken dreams. We found our home in Chicago!

Thank you for an excellent tour. I've been on the Route from Chicago to Flagstaff. I loved spending the night at the Blue Swallow in Tucumcari and El Rancho in Gallup. Also, on a detour on the way to Albuquerque, had lunch in Madrid, NM, if anyone remembers the movie "Wild Hogs". We never made it west past Flagstaff as we went North to the Grand Canyon there. It's such an experience that all 66'ers should do it at least once in a life time. I rode my motorcycle in those days. Next time will be by car.

Wow this series of video on 66 is amazing. The longer video and pacing is so relaxing. For some reason I always thought that the new freeways just replaced the old route, but now I know it's been there all along in parallel. Since, most of us are always in a rush to get to a destination it's rare that that we can just enjoy everything along the route. I am starting to remember the names of those little towns from Depeche Mode's rendition of Get Your Kicks On Route 66!! Someday I will do this route.

This is so familiar...traveled this road many summers with my family in the early 60's as we drove to Kankakee, IL from Anaheim CA . I remember so much of this and it is so sad that US 40 bypassed so much of this beautiful history and a time that many knew so well!

Many years back we came west on 66 from New Mexico into Arizona. I remember reading the billboards for Yellowhorse trading post along the way. They alternated from favorable to disparaging, and it never dawned on my young eyes that the same guy put up both sets. Long gone, now, no doubt.

We stayed at Williams on route 66 and absolutely loved the town. Very friendly people, lovely and clean and well worth stopping at. On thing that did surprise us was that we went mid May and in the morning we woke up to snow. Only had shorts with me, typical tourist lol.

In 1970 we begged our parents to stop at Ft Courage. We loved the old F Troop tv show. Honestly we were all a bit disappointed with it but still hate to see just sitting there rotting away. I don’t see any historical need for it since it was built on the I-40 portion so I would just like the to see the landscape restored. I have really enjoyed your tour of Route 66 and am on my second go around watching the entire series.

We were there about a month after you, between Petrified Forest and Kingman... Fascinating, beautiful stretch, especially if you include all of Petrified Forest, the Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments just north of Flagstaff, Walnut Canyon National Monument east of Flagstaff, and the Grand Canyon. But you did kiss the best part of Two Guns, which are the stone ruins of the old zoo and the Apache Death Cave!
