Drive America's Highways for 33 miles along Tennessee State Route 68 from Tellico Plains to Ducktown.
We start the drive along Tennessee State Route 68 in picturesque town of Tellico Plains at the terminus of the Cherohala Skyway. The drive begins by traversing lush, rolling hills, adorned with vibrant foliage in the warmer months and offering a stunning display of colors during the fall season.

Driving along TN-68, the road meanders alongside the scenic Tellico River, passing towns such as Apalachia and Turtletown.

As we climb higher, we witness the transformation of the landscape, with dense forests replacing open fields.
Finally, our drive culminates at the junction with U.S. Route 64 in the historic town of Ducktown, which once thrived as a hub for copper mining. Though the mining industry has declined, Ducktown has preserved its heritage and offers visitors a glimpse into its storied past.
Overall, the drive along TN-68 from Tellico Plains to Ducktown is a captivating experience, showcasing the natural splendor of the region and the rich historical tapestry of the towns along the route.

Route 66 Road Trip: 14 Days Driving the Main Street of America
Route 66 is the United State's historic highway that was established in 1926, It is over 2,400 miles, and it goes from Santa Monica, California to Chicago, Illinois. The route was used by many who migrated west during the 1900s and it was popularized in songs, TV series and The Grapes of Wrath. My dad and I went on a full Route 66 road trip over 14 days in June of 2019 and made this video to share what the route looked like during that time period and to encourage others to drive this historic road.

U.S. Route 66, also known as the Will Rogers Highway, was one of the original highways constructed by the U.S. Highway System in 1926. Route 66 is over 90 years old and definitely, a road less traveled. There are plenty of weird attractions to be seen along this iconic road that starts in Chicago and ends in Los Angeles. While much of Route 66 has disappeared following its decommissioning as a major American highway in 1985, there remains plenty of evidence to be seen and cherished by historical and pop-cultural lovers. Large chunks of Route 66-related memorabilia have been preserved at the Route 66 Association Hall of Fame and Museum.

Route 66 is iconic. Why?

Route 66 has gained a reputation as the United States of America’s most famous road. How did that happen, and why does it still matter?
In this episode of Vox Almanac, Vox’s Phil Edwards explores the history of the road and the textures of its present, from the road itself to the roadside attractions along the way, to the people who enjoy its diversions and those who help maintain them. It reveals a road that’s changed a lot over the decades but remains vital in unexpected ways.
When Cyrus Avery helped found Route 66 in the 1920s, he strived to create a road that would connect the Midwest to the West, and he resorted to promotional tricks and wheeling and dealing to get it done. The road quickly became a key route for migrants escaping the dust bowl and depression, forming its early reputation as “the Mother Road.”
That’s because it’s a road that’s more than a strip of concrete (or gravel, or dirt). It’s a historical document of everyone who’s traveled on it — as the many contributions from Vox’s YouTube subscribers show, that keeps it going even as the interstates run alongside it.
The number of Route 66 resources out there is huge, but we found these particularly helpful.

Driving Route 66, often referred to as America's Main Street, is a nostalgic journey through the heart of the United States, offering travelers a glimpse into the nation's rich history, diverse landscapes, and the iconic American spirit. This historic highway, officially known as U.S. Route 66, stretches approximately 2,448 miles from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California, passing through eight states along the way.
Embarking on a road trip along Route 66 is like stepping back in time, as the route preserves the charm and character of a bygone era. The highway was established in 1926 and played a crucial role in connecting the East and West coasts of the United States, fostering economic growth and cultural exchange. Today, driving Route 66 is not just a road trip; it's an immersive experience that allows travelers to witness the evolution of American culture.
The journey begins in Chicago, where Route 66 starts its westward course. As you traverse the route, you'll encounter a fascinating array of landmarks, roadside attractions, and small towns that capture the essence of American history. The iconic architecture of the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona, or the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, are just a couple of examples of the quirky and distinctive sites that dot the landscape.
Each state along Route 66 boasts its own unique flavor, from the vast plains of Oklahoma to the stunning desert landscapes of Arizona and California. The route takes you through the Ozarks, the Texas Panhandle, and the picturesque landscapes of New Mexico, offering a diverse tapestry of scenery that changes with every mile.
One of the charms of Route 66 is the opportunity to interact with locals in the small towns that line the highway. These communities have preserved the spirit of the Mother Road, and travelers can enjoy authentic diners, museums, and shops that pay homage to the route's history. The people you meet along the way will share their stories, adding a personal touch to your journey.
As you approach the end of the route in Santa Monica, California, the sense of accomplishment is palpable. The journey along Route 66 is not just about reaching the destination but embracing the adventure and discovery along the way. Driving America's Main Street is a nostalgic and unforgettable experience, weaving together the threads of history, culture, and the open road into a tapestry of the American dream.

Driving Route 66, often referred to as America's Main Street, is a nostalgic journey through the heart of the United States, offering travelers a glimpse into the nation's rich history, diverse landscapes, and the iconic American spirit. This historic highway, officially known as U.S. Route 66, stretches approximately 2,448 miles from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California, passing through eight states along the way.
Embarking on a road trip along Route 66 is like stepping back in time, as the route preserves the charm and character of a bygone era. The highway was established in 1926 and played a crucial role in connecting the East and West coasts of the United States, fostering economic growth and cultural exchange. Today, driving Route 66 is not just a road trip; it's an immersive experience that allows travelers to witness the evolution of American culture.
The journey begins in Chicago, where Route 66 starts its westward course. As you traverse the route, you'll encounter a fascinating array of landmarks, roadside attractions, and small towns that capture the essence of American history. The iconic architecture of the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona, or the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, are just a couple of examples of the quirky and distinctive sites that dot the landscape.
Each state along Route 66 boasts its own unique flavor, from the vast plains of Oklahoma to the stunning desert landscapes of Arizona and California. The route takes you through the Ozarks, the Texas Panhandle, and the picturesque landscapes of New Mexico, offering a diverse tapestry of scenery that changes with every mile.
One of the charms of Route 66 is the opportunity to interact with locals in the small towns that line the highway. These communities have preserved the spirit of the Mother Road, and travelers can enjoy authentic diners, museums, and shops that pay homage to the route's history. The people you meet along the way will share their stories, adding a personal touch to your journey.
As you approach the end of the route in Santa Monica, California, the sense of accomplishment is palpable. The journey along Route 66 is not just about reaching the destination but embracing the adventure and discovery along the way. Driving America's Main Street is a nostalgic and unforgettable experience, weaving together the threads of history, culture, and the open road into a tapestry of the American dream.
