About the Book

There are many photo books and travel guides about the Route 66 journey from Chicago to Santa Monica, California. Yet, despite its 507 mile section of the Mother Road, New Mexico often receives the least coverage.

Route 66 New Mexico: A Visual Tour is different. There are gems and treasures to be discovered in New Mexico that transformed US Highway 66 from a national roadway into a mythical era. With its open vistas, flattop mesas, and colorful sandstone cliffs, New Mexico still offers surprise and wonder to travelers and livelihoods for mom and pop businesses in awe-inspiring settings under turquoise skies.

With helpful directions and location maps, Route 66 New Mexico: A Visual Tour reveals the state’s unique chapter of the Mother Road’s history in beautiful photographs by Sondra Diepen and the fascinating histories, stories, and tales she collected in her search for Route 66 in New Mexico.

Whether you are relaxing in your armchair or revving your engine to hit the road, let Route 66 New Mexico: A Visual Tour be your guide. Your adventure awaits!
