Route 66 - Cajon Pass

Cajon Pass

Route 66, known as the "Mother Road," passes through the Cajon Pass in Southern California, a crucial corridor connecting the high desert and the San Bernardino Valley. Commissioned in 1926, it followed earlier trails used by Native Americans and settlers, becoming vital for Dust Bowl migrants and tourists.

The Cajon Pass features rugged terrain, scenic views, and key railroad crossings. Historic landmarks like the Summit Inn served travelers for decades. Today, preservation efforts keep the legacy of Route 66 alive, attracting tourists and nostalgia seekers. Points of interest include Blue Cut, the Cajon Summit, and views of the San Andreas Fault, highlighting the route's historical and cultural significance.
