There’s a reason Route 66 is called The Mother Road — it isn’t just a highway, it’s a journey through the heart and soul of America. This legendary highway, also known as Rogers Highway, has been a symbol of Americana since 1926. Travelers, dreamers, artists, and road tripping families have hit this historic route in search of adventure, freedom, and a piece of pure Americana. And now? It’s your turn.

This 8-day RV itinerary transforms the legendary drive from Chicago to Santa Monica into a perfectly crafted road trip — packed with classic diners, neon-lit motels, quirky roadside attractions, and some of the most stunning natural landscapes in the U.S. The journey covers the entire route across eight states, offering a comprehensive and iconic experience. For the most authentic adventure, follow the main route and seek out original route sections wherever possible. You’ll walk inside enormous caverns, wander dinosaur museums, meet wild burros in a desert ghost town, and stand at the edge of the Pacific Ocean as Route 66 meets the sea.

Better yet, you’ll do it all from behind the wheel of a Cruise America RV — giving you freedom, flexibility, and home-on-wheels comfort every mile of the way. No rushing to checkout times. No expensive hotel searches. Just wide-open roads, unforgettable experiences, and your travel crew right by your side.

So buckle up. Cue the road-trip playlist. Grab a camera. Stock the fridge. Because your ultimate Route 66 adventure starts at the iconic “Begin” sign in Chicago…and ends with a sunset celebration on the Santa Monica Pier.

Let’s hit the road.

Day 1: Chicago, IL → Springfield, IL

~200 miles — The Journey Begins

There’s a special kind of energy that comes with standing at the start of Route 66 — the same road that inspired road-trip culture, carried dreamers westward, and shaped decades of American storytelling. For an authentic start to your journey, there’s an added excitement in following the original route of Route 66, tracing the historic path that parallels modern highways. Your RV is packed, the camera is charged, and the open road is calling.

This first stretch takes you from the skyscrapers of Chicago to the peaceful prairie landscapes of central Illinois. In just a few hours, you’ll go from the roar of city traffic to the quiet hum of Route 66 cruising beneath your wheels — the perfect warm-up for the adventure ahead.

Route 66 Begins in Chicago

Kick things off at the official Route 66 "Begin Sign," on Adams Street. After snapping your photos, set out on the main route to experience the core of Route 66's history, where you'll encounter the most significant stops and attractions along this legendary corridor. Grab a few “we did it!” photos before heading into Lou Mitchell’s, a classic Route 66 diner that has been fueling travelers since 1923. Free donut holes, hot coffee, and a retro atmosphere set the tone for your first day.

Before you leave Chicago behind, you can squeeze in a few iconic sights — Millennium Park (The Bean), the Chicago Riverwalk, or a quick ride up to the Willis Tower Skydeck. They aren’t technically Route 66 attractions, but they’ll make your first postcards home unforgettable.

From Skyscrapers to Small-Town Charm

Once you officially hit the highway, the scenery begins to evolve fast. The towering skyline softens into the farmlands that built the Midwest. Much of the drive follows the old route of Route 66, letting you experience glimpses of its storied past and the nostalgia of historic segments. The drive is smooth and simple — a great day to settle into your RV rhythm.

Your first Route 66-themed stop is in Pontiac, Illinois, a small community with a huge passion for preserving the “Mother Road.” Murals brighten nearly every block, and the Route 66 Hall of Fame & Museum gives you your first big dose of roadside nostalgia — neon signs, vintage cars, and legends of the highway.

RV Tip: There’s convenient RV parking right behind the museum — making walking around simple and stress-free.

Dinner on Historic Route 66

As the road winds south, hunger will lead you to the Ariston Café, one of the oldest continuously operating restaurants along Route 66 and recognized as one of the historic sites on the route. This family-owned spot has been welcoming travelers since 1924 — long before road-tripping became a cultural movement.

Expect comfort food classics, handmade desserts, and a staff that treat passing guests like locals.

Not far away, another must-try stop is Cozy Dog Drive-In, home of the original corn dog — a fun optional snack if you’ve got room left!

What better place to kick off a cross-country journey than the birthplace of so many American stories?

Why RVs Provide the Richest Route 66 Experience

Route 66 isn’t just a drive — it’s a living piece of history meant to be explored slowly, spontaneously, and with a front-row seat to America’s most iconic landscapes. While many travelers choose an RV for the flexibility and comfort it offers, others opt for a rental car, which can be less intimidating and easier to maneuver, especially if you prefer staying in hotels or motels along the way. Each option has its pros and cons: an RV provides a home on wheels, while a rental car allows for easier parking and potentially lower fuel costs.

Traveling by RV lets you soak in every moment of the adventure without rushing from one hotel reservation to the next. Packing light with just a carry-on can make daily luggage handling much easier, whether you’re in an RV or a rental car, especially if you’re staying in different accommodations each night.

Here’s why an RV transforms Route 66 from a road trip into a once-in-a-lifetime experience:

Freedom to Follow the Road Wherever It Leads

Some of the best Route 66 moments aren’t planned — they’re discovered.
With your home on wheels, there’s no need to skip that quirky museum, charming small town, or neon-lit diner that catches your eye. Your schedule is yours to shape.

Wake Up In the Scenery

Instead of spending nights in generic hotels off the highway, you can camp:

• Under wide-open desert skies

• Steps from historic downtowns

• Near national parks and wildlife habitats

You’re not just passing by America — you’re living in it.

A Budget-Friendly Way to Go Big

Hotels along Route 66 fill fast and can be pricey, especially near popular stops.
With an RV, accommodations and transportation merge into one — giving you more room in the budget for roadside eats, activities, and unique experiences.

Together Time — The Good Kind

Route 66 is full of sights and stories worth sharing.
In an RV, the whole crew is together:
laughing, snacking, playing games, and making memories between each stop — not stuck in separate hotel rooms.

Roadside Dining, Your Way

Sure, Route 66 is famous for its diners…but having a kitchen means:

• Meals whenever you need fuel

• Snacks always within reach

• Dietary preferences, no problem

And you can still enjoy those classic burgers and milkshakes along the way!

A True Americana Adventure

Route 66 was built for explorers — people searching for freedom, possibility, and the wide-open West. RV travel keeps that spirit alive, giving you the same sense of independence the original travelers experienced.
