Stack) // As we crossed the Southwest in the final days of traveling Route 66, the landscapes turned more drastic, the people fewer and farther between, and the roadside attractions more eccentric. We drove hours through sweeping desert, watching lightning crack a distant sky and storm clouds gather at the horizon. At the mouth of Grand Canyon Caverns, dinosaurs loomed over a crude but kitschy mini-golf course and a somber guide passed out ghost monitors and led us down into the pitch-black caves in search of spirits who never showed up. We twisted through the Black Mountains at Sitgreaves Pass and dropped down into Oatman, AZ, where wild burros – descendents of pack animals belonging to the gold prospectors who built up the old mining town – still roam streets that have long since been turned over to tourists. We crossed into California and lost hours marveling over the antique maze of Elmer Long’s Bottle Tree Ranch, where the sun cuts through a jungle of colored glass and desert winds make the rusting chimes and creaking windmills echo the clank and clatter of passing cargo trains. And then we were in Los Angeles, where the road finally disappeared met the Pacific Ocean. // Route 66 is the most celebrated stretch of highway in America. However, with more travelers opting for the interstate, it needs your help. Join @savingplaces and @statefarm on our 2,400-mile journey across America’s most iconic roadway at natgeo.com/route-66.
