A little farther west on 66 you drive through some of the lava flow from
the inactive Mt. Taylor volcano about 10 miles to the north. Not to worry
though, the volcano has been silent for more than a thousand years or
so.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
