Adventure along Route 66 in Arizona
By 1938, it was completely paved, the first highway of the kind in the
country. Businesses and tourism flourished along the route during the
1950s.It was further made famous by a TV series of the same name, and
numerous songs.
The
Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck was based around the highway (he also
penned the nickname "The Mother Road"). The majority of the road is said
to be still driveable within the town sections (we haven't driven it
all...yet).
Travel with us as we venture along old Route
66 in Arizona. Along the way to the Grand Canyon, we stop in at
Rod's Steak House in Williams, still serving juicy steaks since 1946.
