Official Rules

Here's the trip we have planned for you! Prizes are shown in bold.

Start: Albuquerque, N.M.

Albuquerque is the perfect launch city for a trip on the Mother Road because of its international airport and location at the start of the original straight stretch of Route 66 heading to the Grand Canyon. Today, there are still a number of neon signs lining Albuquerque's Historic Route 66, which takes you through three distinct city districts. Start in Nob Hill, a hip, up-and-coming neighborhood with a youthful, collegial vibe. From there, head downtown and look for the city’s best-known landmark, KiMo Theatre and Art Gallery, which opened in 1927 in Pueblo- Deco style. Every architectural detail has significance from the rain clouds to the birds. Download an Albuquerque Route 66 Tour Map.

Get a good night's sleep before you head out on the trip. Your prize package includes a $100 Visa Gift Card towards a 1-night stay.

About 80-miles west of Albuquerque is the small trading-post town of Grants. Along Route 66 you'll still see the quirky hotels and old neon signs that dominated the road in its heyday. When you get into town, your first stop should be to park for a selfie under the Route 66 arch. Arriving at night? The arch is lit up with neon. Here are more don't-miss activities in Grants:

Visit the New Mexico Mining Museum. See the underground environment that the miners worked in everyday by exploring a simulated uranium mine. www.grants.org/museums-galleries.aspx

Play a round of Golf at Coyote Del Malpais Golf Course. New Mexico boasts many notable public courses, but none match this course's unique character with a backdrop of Mount Taylor to the north and the hills of El Malpais National Monument to the south. Sixteen lakes add cool elegance to this championship course. Prize includes 1 round of golf for two people with golf cart. golfnewmexico.com/pages/courses/coyote.html

Stay at a Grants-Milan area hotel. 1-night, 1 room stay for two.

Meteor Crater

It's as deep as a 60-story building and as wide as 20 football fields. More than 2 million fans could watch games from the crater rim. But to really comprehend the vastness of Meteor Crater, it's worth pulling off Route 66 near Winslow, Ariz. to see it yourself.

Two Tickets to the Meteor Crater Interactive Discover Center.
The Barringer Meteor Crater, nearly 1 mile across, is the breath-taking result of a collision between an asteroid traveling 26,000 miles per hour and planet Earth approximately 50,000 years ago. Explore the Interactive Discovery Center, view the crater from viewing platforms, or take a guided tour along the rim.

Flagstaff, Ariz.

One of the only original Route 66 roadhouses still standing, the log cabin Museum Club in Flagstaff attracts national acts like Willie Nelson, features two bars and is home to one of the largest wooden dance floors in the state.

Yes, Route 66 is alive and well in Flagstaff. So use this guide to 66 Kicks to Route 66 for retro sightseeing.
