Welcome to Day 3 of our Route 66 journey. Today we’re leaving the pine forests of Flagstaff and heading east to Albuquerque, with a lot of open country and a few wonderfully strange roadside surprises in between. We’ll pass Winona, a tiny place made famous by the Route 66 song. We’ll find dinosaurs at Meteor City, a corner immortalized in another song in Winslow, and the colorful hills of the Painted Desert. If you have extra time, Meteor Crater and Petrified Forest National Park make remarkable detours. Then we’ll cross into New Mexico, where Gallup, Grants, and the communities of Laguna Pueblo add new stories to the road. We’ll drive surviving sections of historic Route 66 where they fit our route and use Interstate 40 to connect them. Some of the best moments today are small ones: an old sign, a quiet trading post, or a bend in the road that still feels much as it did decades ago. Take your time. Albuquerque will be there when we arrive.

Today’s drive takes you from the pine-covered mountains of Flagstaff through the vast, sun-baked high desert and into the historic heart of Southern California’s Inland Empire — San Bernardino. Along the way, you’ll trace the original Mother Road’s winding path, experiencing iconic Route 66 sights, quirky roadside attractions, and a dramatic shift in landscape. From the awe-inspiring views of the Mogollon Rim to the remnants of classic motels and neon signs in Kingman, you’ll feel the pulse of Route 66’s golden era. Pass through small towns that tell stories of early American travel, mining booms, and westward dreams. As you descend from the desert’s vast openness toward the bustling urban sprawl, keep an eye out for classic diners, vintage gas stations, and the unmistakable charm that makes this stretch one of the most celebrated on the entire route. By the time you arrive in San Bernardino, the official birthplace of Route 66, you’ll have journeyed through a tapestry of history, culture, and landscape — all tied together by the enduring spirit of the Mother Road.

Welcome to Route 66! Today, we're beginning at the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica and heading east toward San Bernardino, following the Mother Road through Los Angeles and the communities along the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Now, if you're already east of Los Angeles, you can begin your Route 66 journey with our next tour starting in San Bernardino. But if you're anywhere near Santa Monica, we highly recommend starting right here. There's a reason. For travelers historically heading west, this was the final stretch of Route 66 — the last chapter of an incredible journey across America before reaching the Pacific. And that means there's a lot of Route 66 history packed into the road we're about to travel. We'll begin at the famous western terminus in Santa Monica, travel through Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, follow historic sections of the Mother Road through Pasadena and along Foothill Boulevard, and discover some wonderful pieces of roadside Americana along the way. We'll see historic motels and service stations, unusual roadside architecture, monuments that actually predate Route 66, and even the place where one of the world's most famous fast-food stories began. And as we travel east, you'll notice the character of the road beginning to change. The dense streets of Los Angeles gradually give way to the classic Route 66 corridor that will eventually carry us toward the wide-open landscapes of the American Southwest. This tour ends in San Bernardino, but our Route 66 journey certainly doesn't. From there, simply start the next UCPlaces Route 66 tour and we'll continue heading east together. So get comfortable, follow the navigation, and let's turn our backs on the Pacific and begin one of the world's great road trips. Chicago may be a long way from here — but Route 66 starts for us right now.

Welcome to Granbury, Texas! And first things first: it's Gran-bury, not Cranberry. There are no cranberries involved in the name. Granbury was named after General Hiram B. Granbury, a Confederate officer who was killed during the Civil War in 1864. He never actually lived here, but when the town was established a couple of years after his death, it was named in his honor. Later in our tour, we'll pass the cemetery where he is buried and tell you more about his story. But Granbury has plenty of other stories to tell. On this tour, we'll begin in the heart of its beautifully preserved historic downtown, where nineteenth-century buildings surround the Hood County Courthouse. We'll pass an old jail, a pioneer cabin, and a railroad depot before heading into the Texas countryside. From there, the drive becomes considerably more scenic. We'll follow part of the Comanche Peak Loop, travel along quiet country roads, see the distinctive Comanche Peak, and make our way toward Lake Granbury and the Brazos River. We'll even point out a great observation point where you can stop, stretch your legs, and take some photos. We'll also visit Acton, where the widow of legendary frontiersman Davy Crockett is buried, before making our way back toward Granbury and finishing right on the water at Granbury City Beach Park. Along the way, you'll hear stories about pioneers, soldiers, outlaws, and even a man who claimed he was Jesse James long after Jesse James was supposedly dead. So buckle up, enjoy the scenery, and get ready to discover the history, legends, and back roads of Granbury, Texas. Let's get started!

Welcome to Sydney! Today, we’re taking you on an unforgettable drive through one of the world’s most spectacular cities — from its historic beginnings to its famous beaches, dramatic Pacific coastline and magnificent harbour. We’ll begin here in The Rocks, where modern Sydney began, before making our way through the heart of the city and out toward the coast. Along the way, we’ll visit beautiful parks, historic landmarks, charming neighbourhoods and, of course, some of Sydney’s legendary beaches. We’ll follow the coastline past Bronte and Bondi, explore the spectacular cliffs of South Head, then trade the crashing waves of the Pacific for the calmer waters of Sydney Harbour. And later, we’ll cross one of the most recognisable bridges on Earth — the Sydney Harbour Bridge — before continuing through the northern harbour suburbs toward Manly and North Head. There’ll be plenty of stories along the way, some incredible views, and a few places where we’ll recommend getting out of the car and exploring on foot. So get comfortable, follow the directions, and leave the storytelling to us. Welcome to Sydney. Let’s hit the road!
