Historic highlights key historical and cultural sites throughout Los Angeles. We all know the horror stories about traffic in LA, so of course I’d recommend finding an off peak travel time to start your drive. Early morning on the weekends is best, particularly on Sunday.
Route 66 winds through Rancho Cucamonga, Pasadena, Downtown, and Santa Monica. In the winter, the snow capped mountains and clear skylines make for incredible views. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to stop at major historical landmarks!
