The
stretch of
Route 66 that passes through
California
extends from the
Colorado
River near
Needles, all the way to the Pacific Ocean at
Santa Monica. Traveling through deserts, mountains, ghost towns, metropolitan areas, and beach
communities,
California's 320 miles of the
Mother Road provide a wide variety of geography,
cultures, architecture, and photographic opportunities.
When
Route 66 began to built in 1926, the road made the
Golden State accessible to thousands of travelers seeking the dream
that
California
provided. 95% of the original road is still drivable through
California and the
California
Route 66 Preservation Foundation is working hard to
preserve those remaining icons of the past.
Enjoy your journey through the
Golden State.

From the Rocky Mountain General Store
 Route
66 Books -
Legends of America and
the
Rocky Mountain General Store has collected a number of
Route 66 Books for our
Mother Road
enthusiasts. As great as
Route 66 is, if you aren't armed with a few good
tools on your journey, you'll miss great attractions, eateries, places to
stay, and wind up on the wrong path. To see this varied collection that
includes "how-to" books, travel guides, photograph books, attractions, and
