Trip guide
Oklahoma's stretch of the Mother Road is more varied than people expect. Tulsa kicks it off with Art Deco towers downtown and the riverfront gardens of Gathering Place. Oklahoma City comes next, where Route 66 on 23rd is lined with neon and revived landmarks, and the Paseo Arts District offers small restaurants and patios. The finish is the Wichita Mountains, with a summit drive up Mount Scott and wildlife refuge trails across granite and prairie.
Good for Road-trip fans who love neon, music and open prairie
March through May is ideal, with mild temperatures, green prairie and comfortable hiking in the mountains. Summers can be hot, and spring storms are part of the Oklahoma story, so keep an eye on the forecast. Fall is a good backup for the same reasons.
This is a driving route, true to the Route 66 spirit. Tulsa and Oklahoma City are linked by highway, and the Wichita Mountains are a separate drive southwest. Rental cars are common, and downtown areas can be walked once you park.
