Texas Route 66: Secret Free Ride, Ghost Towns, and Hidden Gems

Date: June 28, 2024 Duration: 49m 59s
Route 66 in Texas is a captivating journey through time and culture, offering a glimpse into the past through its ghost towns, hidden gems, and iconic landmarks. Our adventure begins at Glenrio, a once-thriving town now frozen in time, offering haunting insights into the past. As we travel through Vega, Adrian, and the mysterious Bent Door, we uncover the stories of those who once called these places home. Midpoint marks the symbolic halfway point of Route 66, a beacon for travelers and a testament to the highway's historical significance. In Amarillo, the Cadillac Ranch stands as a vibrant art installation, inviting visitors to leave their mark on this iconic landmark. Finally, the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo offers a taste of the legendary hospitality and larger-than-life spirit of Texas.
