Exit Route 66

Re-Route Your Way Home

Route 66 turns 100 this year… so why not give it a birthday bonus?

Visit Las Cruces invites you to complement the Mother Road with Exit Route 66 — a mapped-out alternate way back filled with scenic views, quirky roadside finds, and local flavor just off the highway. It’s not instead of Route 66. It’s Route 66… plus a little extra.

This isn’t just a way home—it’s the road trip that keeps the vacation rolling:
