In 3 years, the U.S. will commemorate the 100th birthday of Route 66, the iconic cross-country drive that represents America’s enduring love of road trips and nostalgia.
Though Texas claims just 186 miles of this route through the Panhandle (from Shamrock through Amarillo and over to the New Mexico border), there’s plenty of retro road-trip fun to be had throughout the Lone Star State.
These 2 itineraries are filled with throwback accommodations, classic mom-and-pop diners, drive-in movie theaters, and more. So get off the interstate and head down memory lane.
