Atlanta to Joshua Tree, CA.

[Elizabeth Anne]

Hello, all.
New to the forum here.

Heading to California from Atlanta solo and trying to make the most of the drive. Definitely stopping at the Grand Canyon and am trying to follow route 66 as much as possible. However, maps online are so-so....
Wanted to see if anyone has any advice on a scenic route and maybe some cool lodging ideas....
figured this is the place to ask.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Elizabeth

Welcome to the RoadTrip America Forum!

We have a page dedicated to Route 66 which will hopefully answer many questions you may have. Keep in mind that US-66 had many different alignments over the years, so there really isn't just one route to follow.

Is this a round trip? How many days do you have? What is your budget?

I'll check out the route 66 page!
Trip is one way and I'm hoping it won't be longer than a six day trip.
Give or take a day.

Thanks!

Elizabeth
