The road trip you have been waiting for and dreaming about can be a reality in 2026.
Why? Because two historic milestones collide to ensure that a road trip adventure this year will
be a memory making odyssey of epic proportions.
In 2026, Route 66 turns 100. This is the centennial celebration of a road that defined the
spirit of freedom, adventure, and connection that is the great American road trip. Added to this
once in a lifetime opportunity for a memory making road trip is the 250th anniversary of the United States.
So, this is more than a year to make memories on a road trip with Two Lane America.
This is the time to stop procrastinating, dust off that bucket list, and finally answer the siren song
of the Main Street of America.
If planning a cross-country adventure sounds overwhelming, you’re not alone. That’s
where Two Lane America steps in. Guided by Austin Coop, an expert with decades of Route 66
experience and a knack for turning travel into lifelong memories, we infuse your road trip with
infectious enthusiasm and excitement.
Whether you join us with a classic car, a rental, or simply want to relax and soak it all in
on a comfortable coach, we have a tour built for you. There’s something special about sharing
the road with fellow travelers, all chasing the same bucket‐list dream and building a community
mile by mile. And that’s what we provide.
Prefer to relax and leave the driving to someone else? Our motorcoach tours offer all the
same historic sights and roadside wonders, but without having to worry about traffic.
Comfortable seating, social camaraderie, and stories from the road make this a fantastic choice
for travelers who want the classic Route 66 feel without stress and hassle.
As it’s the centennial every town along Route 66 from Chicago’s to the deserts of
California has planned celebrations, festivals, caravans, and commemorative events. That
ensures a festive feel to an adventure along this storied old highway.
But we offer more than just Route 66 adventures. We offer a variety of tours and that
ensures we have a holiday adventure for every taste and interest.
The twin anniversary celebrations provide communities with incentive and inspiration to
roll out the welcome mat with car shows, historical exhibits, music, art, and lots of good old-
fashioned hospitality. In 2026 the great American road trip will be alive with stories,
celebrations, and unforgettable experiences.
This milestone year makes your journey feel part of something bigger. This will be a
rolling celebration of heritage, community, and shared experience.
Long after the motorcoach or our caravan pulls into a Santa Monica diner parking lot, the
memories you make will stick with you. Past travelers with Two Lane America say their trips
became some of the most meaningful vacations they’ve ever taken. They were filled with new
friends, laughter, and a deep appreciation for America’s colorful tapestry of small towns,
roadside oddities, colorful characters, and historic pulse points.
So, whether you’re drawn to neon signs, vintage cars, remarkable people, or panoramic
landscapes, we invite you to experience history as you travel it.
This isn’t a year to wait on the sidelines. This is the centennial of Route 66 and the 250th
anniversary of the United States and that makes this the perfect moment to check off that iconic
road trip from your bucket list.

Pack your bags. Choose your tour. Let Austin and the crew at Two Lane America handle
the details. All that’s left is for you to put the key in the ignition and join a journey millions have
