Giant milk bottles, the Grand Canyon and more await on this iconic highway.
A road trip along Route 66 is an American culture touchstone. The highway that first connected Chicago and Los Angeles in the 1920s became larger than life thanks to the writing of John Steinbeck, the music of Nat King Cole and a certain snippet of lyrics by The Eagles.
Now, on the eve of the highway’s centennial, Country Living magazine took a look at the top 50 sights on this famous stretch of road. Their list ranges from natural wonders — hello, Grand Canyon — to kitschy glories, like a turquoise and hot pink diner in Kingman, Arizona. There are buildings topped with giant objects — a humongous milk bottle in Oklahoma City, for example.
