14 Experiences Every American Should Have On Their Bucket List

Get Your Kicks on Route 66

Though an official Route 66 no longer exists — it was decommissioned in 1985 — the legendary path from Chicago to Los Angeles remains a draw for many adventurers. Fortunately, about 85% of the original route is still intact, including many famous roadside attractions. Visit the Gateway Arch in St. Louis; stop at the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas; and stay at the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona. You can get turn-by-turn instructions through eight states via Historic66.com.
