Route 66 Ultimate Experience
Tour Overview
Answer the call of the open road on the Ultimate All-American Road Trip as we journey from Oklahoma City to the Santa Monica Pier along legendary Route 66. This is the road trip you've always dreamed about—filled with quirky roadside attractions, vintage neon, classic diners, colorful murals, and the small towns that made America's Mother Road famous.
Along the way, we'll experience the incredible landscapes and iconic sights that drew generations westward, including the breathtaking Grand Canyon, the colorful Painted Desert, Petrified Forest National Park, and a nostalgic ride aboard the Grand Canyon Railway. We'll also discover authentic Western heritage, Indigenous culture, and historic Route 66 landmarks like Cadillac Ranch, Hackberry General Store, Roy's Motel & Café, and the charming Blue Swallow Motel.
This tour isn't about rushing from destination to destination—it's about embracing the journey. Every mile brings another photo stop, another hidden gem, another slice of Americana, and another unforgettable story. From wide-open prairies and red rock deserts to the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean, this is the ultimate American road trip brought to life.
