Episode 66: Route 66 | New Mexico & Arizona | RV travel camping

Get your kicks on Route 66! Hop aboard our RV and travel with us along the Historic Route 66 from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Flagstaff, Arizona. Along the way we'll see the sights that made this stretch of Route 66 famous, including the El Rancho Hotel in Gallup, Continental Divide, Petrified Forest National Park, the Wigwam Hotel in Holbrook, and of course "The Corner" in Winslow, Arizona! We'll also check out the Navajo County Historical Society Museum, the Rio Puerco Bridge, and countless past and present businesses that lined Route 66.

Welcome to Grand Adventure, a YouTube channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, nearly always filmed in stunning 4K.

We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and invite you to come along as we travel all around the western U.S. My wife Patricia and I, and our dogs Zoe and Maggie are avid boondockers, so you'll seldom find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds. Instead, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. And unlike most other RV channels on YouTube, we're not RV dealers or full-timers -- we're weekend warriors just like you!

We'll provide tips and insight on equipping and maintaining your RV, trip planning and travel videos to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!

Grand Adventure is the creative video outlet for Marc Guido, a 50-something outdoors enthusiast who first added an RV to his gear bag in spring 2017. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, he travels the western U.S. in his travel trailer with his lovely wife Patricia, and their overly-caffeinated dogs Zoe (a Labrador retriever) and Maggie (a rescued golden retriever).
