Riding all the way to the endpoint of Route 66 is irresistible for a travel lover. The scenery shifting from the dry air of the Mojave Desert to the scent of the Pacific salt breeze - just imagining that stretch makes me want to spread out a map. A single road tracing historic towns is packed with stories that go beyond just the destination. A road worth dreaming about.

Riding through the desert in summer means heatstroke risk is something you really have to watch out for.

American road trips are on a completely different scale than touring in Japan—makes you envious.

I'd like more practical info on the Mojave desert stretch, like distance and temperature conditions.

The Mojave gets pretty hot during the day, so setting off early is the golden rule.

The phrase 'mother road' really conveys the weight of America's road-trip culture.

The final chapter of Route 66—just the shift in scenery from desert to ocean makes it an epic trip.

Ending the finale from desert to Pacific coast is a perfect narrative close, honestly.
