Route 66 trip I’ve been here 3 times in the last 5 years, great place to sit back and listen to some music over a cold beer. I was also served the most bizarre burger I’ve ever had. It came out deconstructed and I had to put it together to eat. Seriously? That’s just plain …
Route 66 – (2018 Trip) – Day 14 – Bluff, UT. to Williams, AZ.
With our journey to Monument Valley done it was time to turn around and head back towards Route 66. Riding back through Monument Valley with the sun behind us was a truly majestic experience.

Desert Rose Inn & Cabins 701 West Main Street Bluff UT
Overpriced There’s not a lot of choices once you get out this way, they are in the middle of nowhere. That said the cabin was very nice and the bed was comfy. That’s about all the positives though, they don’t have a bar for a quiet drink and your dining is limited to the in-house …

Fairfield Inn Albuquerque University Area, 1760 Menaul Boulevard Northeast, Albuquerque, NM
Route 66 motel After a long hot summer’s day of riding a motorcycle we arrived at this motel only to be told the rooms weren’t ready. I guess that explained the crowded lobby and breakfast area. For the price the motel is fine and the bed was comfy, with the security seeming to be on …
Route 66 – (2018 Trip) – Big Texan Steak Ranch
Route 66 trip We visited here during our stay in Amarillo, the best thing is they do a free limo to and from your motel to the restaurant. The beer is cold and the food is good, pick the time of year to go it does get really busy. Overall 4/5 Value 4/5 …
