Hit the Mother Road

There’s no more iconic highway than the legendary Route 66. This Route 66 road trip itinerary is an exciting, immersive opportunity to explore Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico as you travel across some of the oldest parts of this iconic route. You’ll begin your road trip holiday to America by flying to Dallas from where you’ll pick up your rental car. You’ll have one night to explore this exciting city of skyscrapers with a past and present rich in the stuff that American legends are made of before getting out on the open road.

Along your route you’ll visit Oklahoma where you can check out some iconic stops of Route 66 such as Lucille’s Service Station or Ann’s Chicken Fry House. At the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum in Clinton you can see exhibits depicting the history and legends of the most famous highway in the USA.

Explore Texas Hill and the Wild West

Journey into the Wild West as you travel back into Texas en route to Amarillo. This stretch of Route 66 is home to several vintage Mother Road icons, as well as glimpses of the Wild West. Long stretches of the old road remain, with the original concrete in many spots and as you continue on to Santa Fe, the scenery changes into desert with mountains and mesas.

You’ll then get into Texas Hill Country as you hit Fredericksburg where you can sample local culinary favourites and brewing at the town’s bistros, bakeries and beer gardens. Drive Scenic Highway 16 from Fredericksburg on your way to San Antonio where you’ll be greeted by delicious Tex-Mex food before carrying onto Austin where you might cool off in the area’s natural springs: Krause Springs, Blue Hole and Hamilton Pool are local favourites or enjoy the fantastic live music on offer in Austin. Then its onto Fort Worth were your trip comes to an end.
