The “Mother of Roads”, a symbol of America, stretching from Chicago to Los Angeles. Drive along it and you'll be transported back in time to the country's history, with retro diners, motels and gas stations preserving the spirit of the past. Highway 66 was opened in 1926 and became one of the first roads in the system of numbered highways in the United States. It connected Chicago, Illinois and Los Angeles, California, passing through the states of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Route 66 played a huge role in the development of the western United States, facilitating population migration and economic growth

During the Great Depression, the highway became an “escape route” for many Americans seeking a better life in the west. During World War II, Route 66 was used for military transportation. And in the post-war era, the highway became a popular tourist route, attracting travelers with its romance and history

It stretches for more than 1,000 kilometers along the Pacific Coast, from Mendocino County in the north to Orange County in the south. The most popular stretch is between San Francisco and Los Angeles, known as Big Sur

Blue Ridge Parkway

This scenic route stretches 755 kilometers (469 miles) through Virginia and North Carolina, connecting Shenandoah National Park with Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Blue Ridge Parkway is known for its gentle curves, lack of intersections with traffic lights and speed limits, allowing you to enjoy the ride at a relaxed pace

Overseas Highway

The Overseas Highway stretches 182 kilometers (113 miles) from Miami to Key West, the southernmost point of the continental United States. The road includes 42 bridges, the longest of which is the famous Seven Mile Bridge. Breathtaking scenery

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon began to form about 6 million years ago when the Colorado River began eroding the Colorado Plateau. The rock layers we see today were formed over millions of years of sedimentation and range in age from 2 billion years to 230 million years

Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone is famous for its incredible concentration of geysers - over 300! The most famous of these is the Old Faithful geyser, which erupts approximately every 90 minutes

Yellowstone is also rich in waterfalls, including Lower Yellowstone Falls, which is twice the height of Niagara Falls

Arches National Park

Millions of years ago, the area was covered by an inland sea. After its evaporation, a layer of salt several kilometers thick was left behind. Over time, layers of sandstone formed on top of it. Under the action of erosion caused by wind, rain and temperature differences, the sandstone began to erode, forming cracks that gradually turned into arches

Monument Valley

This valley, located on the border of Utah and Arizona, is part of the Navajo Indian Reservation and is considered one of the national symbols of the United States.

Monument rocks, reaching heights of up to 300 meters, were formed as a result of sandstone erosion. Their bizarre shapes and bright colors are amazing

Monument Valley is a sacred place for the Navajo Indians who have lived here for centuries. They call it “Tse'Bii'Ndzisgaii”, which means “valley of the rocks”
