West Coast Road Trip
We did part of route 66 on our road trip last year. Started in LA then down to San Diego, then over to Sedona, up to south rim of Grand Canyon. Picked up part of route 66 on the way to Las Vegas. Seligman is a good stop for a couple of hours, loads of memorabilia and they claim to have founded route 66 or the idea of making it famous. After Las Vegas we went up to Yosemite and then over to San Francisco and finally back into LA. It was the holiday of a life time, over 2000 miles in 2 weeks and 9 different hotels.
Would do it all again without a doubt.

Sounds like an amazing trip! So glad you enjoyed yourself. I am thinking of adding Grand Canyon onto the trip as well. Monument Valley is on my list for a future trip around the Utah national parks though so probably not that one this time.
I have ordered the Ez66 guide and the maps. Also following a few FB pages and have got myself quite obsessed considering I don't even have anything booked! Feel free to share any hints, tips or must visit places if you think of anything |

Sounds like an amazing trip, thank for sharing! Sedona is on my list of a possible detour, it looks so beautiful - I love the look of all the rock formations and imagine there would be some amazing hikes. Seligman also looks like a great town and is most definitely on my list Thanks again for sharing.

The planning is totally addictive. You’ll love it once you get into it and start making a plan. We haven’t re-booked yet after having our trip cancelled but I’m still constantly reading Facebook pages, looking up hotels and places to eat and making mental notes (I should probably write them down!). I think it’s the kind of trip that you can never have too much information for.

Search for a chap on YouTube titled 'California Through My Lens', also 'Through My Lens' for things outside California. This thoroughly watchable chap did the complete trip with his father last year and he uploaded many, very informative trip reports for each section of Route 66. Especially good if you like the quirky, off-beat things that he seems to relish sometimes.
