The road starts from Chicago all the way to Santa Monica totaling 2451 miles. It is a breathtaking trip that you will never forget. One of the spectacular sites to visit is the oldest church in America, St.Joseph’s in Laguna. Other beautiful places are the display of cars at the Texas Ranch, the world’s biggest rocking chair seen in Fanning and Petrified Forest National Park. Route 66 is on many Americans’ bucket list, and it is indeed worth the hype.
Pacific Coast Highway

An interesting fact is that you may see some sea lions so be careful. This highway is magnificent making it a perfect adventure and an ideal location for your next Instagram post. The road itself is also a destination, and you will get a splendid view of the blue ocean. The iconic Golden Gate Bridge is also on this highway. With all these, what else could you ask for?
