DUPAGE COUNTY:
HOTELS, RESORTS and GETAWAYS
BEYOND CHICAGO’S SKYLINE
CRUISE THE MOTHER ROAD continued
After you leave DuPage County, you’ll want to make your way to the Historical Museum & Route 66 Welcome Center, which is located in Joliet at the crossroad of Route 66 and Lincoln Highway, another historic Illinois road. This would be an ideal place to get some last-minute advice about where to stop on your road adventure.
Day THREE
Enjoy the Route 66 scenic byways on your way to Springfi eld, the state capital of Illinois. Watch for Wayside Exhibits and Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway Experience hubs. Each tells a unique story about locations along the route.
Plan to spend the night there. Without stops, this trip would take about 4 hours, but give yourself plenty of time to stop and take in the historic towns, sites and original alignments along the way.
Day FOUR
Today, you’ll explore the stretch of Illinois’ Route 66 from Springfi eld to where it ends near St. Louis, Missouri. This trip, without stops, would take about 2-1/2 hours, but there are plenty of small towns with interesting historic sites that you won’t want to miss. Plan to spend the night near St. Louis.
Day FIVE
Start your return trip to the Chicago area via Route 66 and catch the sites you may have missed on the way down. If you’re in a hurry to get back, take Illinois Interstate 55 the entire way, and you’ll reach DuPage County in about 4-1/2 hours.
