Historic
Route 66
You'd
be hard pressed to find a driver who hasn't heard of the legendary
Route 66, one of the original US highways often known as the
Mother Road. The famous highway originally ran from Chicago,
Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles, encompassing
a total of 2,448 miles.
It
was recognized in popular culture by both a hit song and a
television show in the 1950s and 1960s, before being officially
removed in 1985. For drivers who still want a taste of the
route, Portions of the road that passed through Illinois,
Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona have been designated a National
Scenic Byway named "Historic Route 66".
In
1990, Route 66 associations were founded separately in both
Arizona and Missouri. As the popularity and mythical stature
of Route 66 has continued to grow, demands have begun to mount
to improve signage, return Route 66 to road atlases and revive
its status as a continuous routing.
Along
these lines Route 66 has been established as a National Scenic
Byway in Illinois, Arizona and New Mexico with National Scenic
Byway status pending in Oklahoma and Missouri as of 2007.
Another move is also afoot that aims to reinstate Route 66
as an official U.S. Route. Until then, drivers can still enjoy
Historic Route 66 for a scenic and historical journey they
will not forget. www.historic66.com
ET
Highway Nevada
Curious
about life in space? The ET Highway in Nevada is the perfect
drive trip for you. Journey 147 miles north of Las Vegas and
you will find the Extraterrestrial Highway (Highway 375) in
Sand Spring Valley. Highway 375 stretches for 98 miles and
the tiny town of Rachel is a popular stopping point for UFO
fans hoping to learn more about the highway and the mysterious
former military testing facility, Area 51.
The
E.T. Highway earned its moniker in April 1996, thanks to the
hundreds of claims of UFO sightings along the lonely stretch
of road, which is close to top-secret Area 51. Even today,
visitors and locals report seeing strange lights in the night
sky. As a result, the E.T. Highway draws hundreds of curious
visitors. Day-trippers from Las Vegas routinely stop in Rachel
before venturing off to hopefully discover the unexpected.

Overseas
Highway Florida
For
holidaymakers seeking some fun in the sun, a cruise along
the Overseas Highway through Florida is the perfect drive
option. The Overseas Highway is a 127.5-mile long road carrying
U.S. Route 1 through the Florida Keys. The Overseas Highway,
the southernmost leg of U.S. Highway 1 and sometimes called
the Highway That Goes to Sea is a modern wonder. The road,
that follows a trail originally blazed in 1912 by Henry Flagler's
Florida East Coast Railroad, stretches from Miami to Key West.
Today, motorists can travel the highway in less than four
hours from Miami. However, drivers should allow time to experience
the natural beauty of the ever-changing scenery of the seas
and wilderness bordering the roadway, and the magnificent
sunrises and sunsets the Sunshine State is famous for. www.floridakeys.com/overseashighway.htm
Driving
down the Vegas Strip
For
travellers looking for exciting nightlife Las Vegas is the
place to be, located in the southwestern corner of Nevada
near the borders of California and Arizona. All the action
in Vegas is centered on one broad avenue that stretches from
the southern fringe of the city northward for a dozen miles
until it reaches the heart of old downtown. This is Las Vegas
Boulevard, commonly known as "the Strip". Nearly all of the
major casinos are lined up along its sides. A drive down Las
Vegas Boulevard takes you past the pyramid of Luxor casino,
the skyline of New York casino, the Eifel Tower of Paris casino,
the great tent of the Circus casino and the lofty tower of
the Stratosphere casino. Eventually, it takes you to downtown
Vegas and Fremont Street, home of the historic old gambling
parlors like Binyons and the Golden Nugget. Just driving down
the strip past all these spectacular casino resorts is a fantastic
experience. At night, "the strip" comes alive with miles of
colored neon and millions of dancing lights, making it a perfect
place for a driving adventure. www.visitlasvegas.com/vegas/index.jsp
