How long does it take to drive Route 66 and take in all the sights??

Answer 1

I'd give it at least a week. It's a long, long road, and rough in spots, and there's a lot to see and do. Or take a month, and include places somewhat off the line, such as the Grand Canyon.

Answer 2

Sorry to tell you this, but Route 66 is but small chunks preserved by historical societies, in the various towns connected to I-40. Pretty good stretch of "Root" 66 outside Tucumcari, NM. There is the Business Loop 66 which runs for about 5-6 blocks in Amarillo, TX. There were a couple of detours in AZ.

PBS used to have a video for sale about Great American Drives.
