The only Route 66 guidebook with a fully integrated app! Deviate from the norm, go a bit farther, and make your trip uniquely yours. Put discovery and wonder back into your travels. Roadtrippers Route 66 celebrates life's detours and on-the-road surprises.

Use this book to skip the big chains and tourist traps. Find family-owned diners, small businesses, original neon signs, and strange haunts. Dig up the weirder, funnier, more fascinating destinations that are why you're on the road in the first place.

Author Tatiana Parent, along with Roadtrippers' team of experts, jammed this guidebook full of interesting places worth a stop, worth a photo, worth a meal, or worth a detour. The guidebook features the entire iconic U.S. highway, from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California. It divides the legendary road into six sections. For each, you're given a map, recommendations on everything from campgrounds to restaurants, and the fun and fascinating details that make each stretch compelling and unique. You also get random facts, "Weirdville" stories, and even a hand-picked playlist of songs for each leg of the trip.

Roadtrippers further helps with tips on how to plan your adventure, how to pack your vehicle, what to bring along, and more. Plus, there are special sections of information for international travellers and for those on motorcycles.

Roadtrippers Route 66 is the only guidebook that can be paired with a supplemental app. Use your mobile device to easily plan a trip with friends, save and share your travel itinerary, learn more about each point of interest, and get turn-by-turn directions to out-of-the-way places. Check the app while on the road for live updates and exclusive offers. The basic version is free to use, and the book comes with one free month of the premium Roadtrippers Plus subscription.

Road trips are the only mode of travel where people reclaim 100% of their freedom. Go where you want, when you want, for as long as you want! Celebrate life on your terms and your time. If you've got a driver's licence, you're a Roadtripper.
