Definately do not exit early to see any potential "town" or you'll find yourself on probably the only route 66 gravel road left. There are abandoned buildings, which are cool. There is an occupied house behind one of the abandoned buildings. You can also see the abandoned railways.if you take the gravel drive down route 66 the are multiple railway bridges and old bridges to drive over. Those were cool. It was a quiet break from the hustle of I-40
Rooms are clean, beds comfortable, and the employees are incredibly kind and helpful. Breakfast was great and the coffee was surprisingly delicious.
