Since it was replaced by I40, I have had this nostalgic attraction to travel old Route 66. I have driven some sections and I’m not yet interested in long distance biking…I would rather walk it and have been consdering hiking/backpacking the southwest section winter.
They have a website which provides detailed maps and directions as not all of it is well marked.
Tenting would be limited to long sections (where I could find a place to tent) as I would probably take the camper and use the Jeep to shuttle myself back from time to time.
My initial feeling is it would not be appropiate to journal such a hike here as it is not a “trail.” Just wondered if most concur.
The recent post about the 700 mile Enchanement Trail really is fascinating. If I can get enough info on it, I am definitely going to walk it while I’m down there.
