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!

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'!

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.

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.

Also when in Kingman, next time take a small detour up the Hualapai mountain rd (20 min drive) and you can be in a town up the mountain where elk and deer roam freely and engage with the locals.

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.

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!

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.

I remember Fort Courage still being open in the early 2000's. A real shame it closed as it always seemed busy back then.

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.

Great video, looking forward to the New Mexico episode, I stayed in Albuquerque for a month in 2016 checking out the Breaking Bad locations and posing for people's pictures. I'm from the UK but will have to go back and do the complete Route 66 one day soon after watching your inspiring clips!

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.

I know this is 4 years old, but man...I'm glad I found this! I have been doing photography over 20 years and have always wanted to travel Route 66. Hopefully all these years later I can plan it for 2025!! Also, great work!

Really nice to see a slice of home , I actually grew up in Williams and the mother road was the only way to get to California before I-40 came in Williams and Ashfork was very active place. But ya can't do az without doing the south rim, and walnut canyon national park, tuzigoot ,oakcreek canyon and don't forget the oak creek overlook on 89a witch takes you down into oak creek canyon and through sedona.

You would be surprised to learn a bit about those railroad tracks that you were paralleling while on your journey. What those railroad tracks are is the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Southern Transcon. That transcon runs from Chicago to Los Angeles. You may be surprised also to learn that the segment from Winslow Arizona to Needles California is aptly named the Seligman Subdivision. This subdivision runs from Winslow to Needles. The subdivision east of there is aptly named the Gallup, that runs from Belen Junction (Los Lunas New Mexico) south of Albuquerque to Winslow.

Awesome adventure Josh! Looking forward to next week. Arizona has cool old towns. I couldn't do the cavern. I can handle hights, but not closed in spaces.

Joker OneNineSevenZero - I’m claustrophobic and I have to attest that going down there is a little scary at first, but once down in the caverns you can feel a very strong breeze that helps settle any anxiety about lack of breathable air. I own a property not far from the caverns and it’s one of the only “tight spaces” I feel comfortable in. No matter how many times I go down there, the first 10 minutes are always a little scary. It’s well worth it though.
