Explore California's Route 66

 

 

The California Historic Route 66 Association welcomes you to the Mother Road in the Golden State. We hope you'll find this web site useful as you plan your trip on California's fabled Route 66. Explore our pages and discover the many fascinating people and places you'll find once you get off the Interstates.

 

The stretch of Route 66 that passes through California extends from the Colorado River (Topock), near Needles, to the Pacific Ocean at Santa Monica. Some 320 miles of Route 66 pass through California's deserts, mountains, metropolitan areas and beach communities.

 

California's Route 66 is hard to beat as a travel theme for your next vacation. A pathway to California's history, cultural diversity, geology, geography and architecture, Route 66 in California reflects a significant part of our National Heritage.
