Route 66, the first continuous road linking Chicago and Los
Angeles, is an iconic American highway that attracts thousands of
visitors each year. Originally designed in 1926 to create a
speedier connection with the Pacific coast, today Route 66
represents the opposite: deceleration and leisure time. Passing
through eight states, drivers see bustling cities like Santa Fe and
ghost towns like Calico, natural spectacles such as the Mojave
Desert, and the glories of the Grand Canyon. A road trip on Route
66 draws on the nostalgia of the American dream: the freedom to
reinvent oneself, the lure of open country, the cult of 'Easy
Rider', desert vistas, neon signs, vintage motels, mom-and-pop
diners - in short, it is the symbol of a nation that idealises
being 'on the road'. This superb collection of photographs
highlights forgotten places and outstanding sights along the
legendary highway.
