Route 66 is a part of America's identity. The birth of cars, Western freewheeling, traveling, Jack Kerouac and Route 66; these histories go hand-in-hand, and Amarillo features some truly iconic sections of the road. The Big Texan Restaurant has been offering diners its 72 oz. steak challenge since the 1970s. The Cowboy Motel can easily be recognized by its giant antique cowboy road sign in front. Route 66 is the perfect place for shopping, dining, and experiencing a legendary section of American history.

There's some interesting restaurants and shops here but really nothing interesting architecturally.
MoreHistorical route 66 District is a 1 mile long street which was the original Route 66. There are some restaurants, shops, and many murals. Btw: The picture of the cow is not in the historical 66 District!!
MoreWe were there on a holiday, so a lot of shops were closed. We did enjoy the shops that were open and it gave us something to do.
MoreWe stayed at Fort Amarillo RV Park. Well run and clean. It is an easy drive into town since its on Business Loop 40. We were there for the Route 66 anniversary bash. Blocks and blocks of vendors and things to see. This is just one of many Route 66 stops we will be making this summer. Glad we could time this one right.
Moregood places to eat and get adult beveragesmany antique shops, not much for Route 66 gifts
