"The book...is an excellent guide to discovering the history of the Mother Road as it ran across northern Arizona." -- The Arizona Republic, August 19, 2001

"This isn't a boring tome...it's an inviting, full-color modern guide to exploring what remains...today along the route....." -- The Arizona Republic, August 19, 2001

Product Description

Let the Mangums steer you down Arizona's version of America's Main Street in this colorful and well-researched book! This all color, deluxe and comprehensive Route 66 book provides all the details Route 66 buffs crave. This is the ultimate Route 66 guidebook, with color maps, scores of historic and modern photos and detailed descriptions for casual users and die-hard roadies alike. This historic road is broken down into 13 separate tours, each one illustrated with maps, photos, a road log and commentary. Detours, sightseeing trips, hikes and bike rides are added. Foreign travelers will welcome the inclusion of metric measurements. In a long-overdue departure from current 66 books, this book contains full descriptions of its tours running from both east-to-west and from west-to-east. In addition to its Tour section the book contains sections on the History and Places of Route 66 and an index.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to get your kicks..., September 6, 2001
By R. Evans (Flagstaff, AZ. USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Mangums have another hit. This is exactly the sort of book Route 66 travellers have been waiting for. "Route 66 Across Arizona" is a very user friendly guide book that gives accurate, detailed directions to the existing sections of Route 66 across Arizona. I have tried several of their tours, and found them to be exactly as described. There are good maps, some history and local color, and perhaps best, recommended stops along the way. "Route 66 Across Arizona" beautifully updates Jack Rittenhouse's 1946 "Guide Book to Highway 66" and provides a practical foundation for many other books about Route 66.

Best of the best ! If you plan on traveling Route 66 in Arizona...this is a no brainer. Great photos, easy to follow directions...both East to West and West to East, color coded. From folks that live in and know AZ....not just passing thru.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that will make a road tour into an adventure!, April 30, 2002
By Parsa (California, USA) - See all my reviews
I was fortunate enough to buy this book just before my family's summer drive on 66. I'm definitely glad I did! This book made my family's drive along Route 66 in Arizona into a real adventure road trip.
I have read most of the national and state guides for the Mother Road, but this is definitely one of the very best. The Mangums have included all the alignments of the old Road, have them color coded and dated, and even include journeys for 4WD vehicles and bicycles on Route 66. I never would have found some of these alignments with the standard maps and guides.
One particular favorite was the old 1930s alignment between the Monte Carlo exit on I-40 (149) and the Welch exit (151) farther east. It was potholed and torn up, but I really felt like I was experiencing the real Route 66.
The book's recommendations for hotels, cafes, and attractions were extremely helpful. Also, unlike most Route 66 guides, this book describes the trip going in both directions!
