A shorter day — we detour to Santa Fe for a picnic lunch, try some wild chile-covered Mexican candy, and then head to Albuquerque. The vibe shifts from small-town Route 66 to something more urban. If you’re planning this trip, this is the day to plan ahead.
📍 Stops: Santa Fe, NM, Albuquerque, NM
🎬 This is part of our Route 66 series — driving the full Mother Road from Chicago to LA.
