Arizona - Route 66

The Arizona stretch of Route 66 unfolds as a journey through time and terrain. From the cactus-studded expanses of the Sonoran Desert to the rugged canyons of the Colorado Plateau, the landscape shifts like chapters in a novel. Along the iconic route, you'll encounter classic diners, vintage motels, and quirky roadside attractions, each a testament to the route's storied past. As a blogger and photographer, I capture the essence of this historic highway, where the asphalt weaves through red-rock landscapes and sunsets paint the sky in hues only Arizona can offer.
