Route 66
Planning a summer road trip from Chicago to somewhere out west. Interested in exploring cool, worthwhile spots along Route 66. Looking for photo-worthy scenery (my boyfriend is a photographer) and some neats spots to stop and explore along the way. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

do a websearch on Oatman, AZ its supposedly on Route 66 and they have tame burros on the outskirts who come into town to get fed daily. I saw a special i believe on the travel channel and the town seemed to be saloon like.

Wupatki National Monument and the adjacent Nat Mon. were beautiful last September. There had been a good bit of rain, I heard, so the plants were very colorful in the desert. This is just north of Flagstaff, Arizona.

Check out the Wigwam Hotel for a blast from the past! It also gets good reviews from TripAdivsor -

Grand Canyon is an hour NORTH of Williams. Williams fought the interstate the longest, and although I-40 was completed, it didn't open and traffic was routed through Williams on old route 66. Through the town, the east bound 66 is a block away from the west bound. Also stop at the "Snowcap" in Seligman, and further on, Grand Canyon Caverns (not really near GC!)
