Route 66 runs through the middle of Gallup, a time capsule of mid-century Americana—from funky old motels and diners to Southwestern pottery and jewelry shops. Crossing the desert, passing red-rock mesas, you’ll climb to the Continental Divide and its wonderfully cheesy trading post. Up next is Grants, which retains a healthy amount of its old Route 66 character.
