The journey from Phoenix to Page passed three sections of geological landscape, with completely different vegetation. When I first left Phoenix, the road was full of this columnar cactus. With the increase of altitude, low shrub plants such as cactus disappeared, and the towering pine forest was taken, and finally the barren plateau with Danxia landform characteristics. Wonderful!

Mother road. I have not understood the meaning of Highway 66, this sign is more clear. Whenever political and economic turmoil, I will look for opportunities in the west through Highway 66. Highway 66 is also an earlier road in the early development of the U.S. auto industry.
Route 66, affectionately called the Mother's Road by Americans, is diagonally 66, which runs from Chicago, Illinois, all the way to Santa Monica, California. Route 66 is 2,448 miles (about 3,939 kilometers) open to traffic: November 11, 1926-June 27, 1985, Michael Wallis, a scholar who has studied Route 66 for more than 60 years, said: "Route 66 is like a mirror to the American nation;" Route 66 is 2448 miles (about 3,939 kilometers) open time: November 11, 1926 Decommissioned time: June 27, 1985 Although Route 66 is no longer seen on the road map, there is still a group of people who remember the road and remember the little bits it once brought to the American people. In 1990, the "Route 66 Alliance" (National Historic Route 66 Federation) was formed in Arizona and Missouri, respectively, to gather together and evoke the memory of Americans. In the same year, Missouri declared the road "State Historic Highway" (State Historic Route) and established the "History 66" (Historic Route 66) road sign. With the efforts of the Route 66 Alliance, the 66 line that had disappeared from the map has returned to the map under the name of "Historical Route 66". It is said that the Midwest of the United States has experienced a major drought, and the vast land has suddenly become a dry land without grass. Many farmers were driven to poverty by drought, so they packed up their only household items and drove along Route 66 with their families all the way to California, hoping to pursue wealth and start a new life in the West. Therefore, Highway 66 is a road that symbolizes dreams and practices the American dream in the hearts of Americans in that year. The cartoon "Automobile General Mobilization" has a scene of Highway 66. If you are traveling by car in the United States and the West, Highway 66 must come to punch in. It is highly recommended!
Route 66 finally got a glimpse of the legendary Western Cowboys, the historical and cultural path of the Indian tribe... No one knows how many songs have been on this road, how many movies have been made on this road. But people who come to the United States to drive themselves, there is no possibility that they have not heard of this important legendary road: 66 Mother's Road. From California to Chicago, the length of more than 4,000 kilometers, crossing eight states, has a long history and unlimited scenery. As the most scenic road in the world, it has become the symbol of Western culture in the hearts of Americans with the historical and cultural heritage behind it, and is known as the "most historic and valuable road". And Seligman is said to be the best-preserved Route 66 town, the prototype town of American animation Toy Story. The town's store walls are covered with refrigerator stickers, postcards, calendars, etc. on Route 66, and from time to time you can encounter several cool Harley motorcycles collected by the owner.
It was a story-telling run that provided tens of thousands of jobs to Americans during the US economic crisis, and it was also the element of American pop culture at the time.
The famous cultural attractions in the west of the United States are famous in the world. The abbreviation of the development history of the United States, from Chicago to Los Angeles, has been replaced by other roads. The landmark attractions of the United States and West have only stayed on a few sections, including the small town of Kingman. very good!
