The Only Checklist Built
for the Centennial Year.
66 experiences. 8 states. Chicago to Santa Monica. Every item includes GPS coordinates, Google Maps link, difficulty rating, and time required — no guesswork.
Everything You Need.
Nothing You Don't.
Every item in this list was selected because it cannot be easily found, assembled, or verified without research. This is not a Pinterest board.
66 GPS Coordinates + Google Maps Links
Every experience links directly to Google Maps via a name-based search URL. Tap and navigate — no copy-pasting coordinates in a Texas parking lot at 9pm.
Day-by-Day Sequencing
Every item is tagged with its ideal trip-day window (Day 1–2, Day 7, etc.) so you can sequence stops without building an itinerary from scratch. Not a full itinerary — a framework.
Time Required for Every Stop
15 min, 1 hr, Half Day, Overnight — listed on every item. You can plan a realistic day without spreadsheets.
Verified Opening Hours
Museums, diners, and attractions include verified hours. Researched through April 2026. Updated at europetrip.us when things change.
2026 Centennial Flags
Items with special centennial context — installations, events, and limited-window experiences unique to the 100th anniversary year — are flagged separately.
Printable Checklist Format
Every item includes a physical checkbox. Print the guide, carry it in the car, tick each box as you go. The format is designed for actual use on the road — not reading on a screen.
8 States.
66 Experiences.
A preview of what's inside each state section — from the Illinois starting marker to the Pacific Ocean.
Illinois
Chicago to the Missouri border. The official start, brick pavement, and the best neon in the Midwest.
Missouri & Kansas
Ted Drewes custard, Devil's Elbow, and 13 miles of Kansas that contain more Route 66 per mile than anywhere else.
Oklahoma & Texas
More original alignment than any other state. Then 186 flat, cinematic Texas miles ending at Cadillac Ranch.
NM · AZ · CA
The desert section. Turquoise in Gallup, the 158-mile uninterrupted Arizona stretch, and the Pacific as the finish line.
7,000+ Travelers.
One Standard.
"The GPS links alone saved us hours. Every stop on the list was exactly what they described. We drove Oklahoma in a single day using the day-range tags — no wasted miles."
"I'd downloaded 3 free PDFs before this. They all contradicted each other. This one had verified hours, actual motel names, and specific GPS coordinates. That's the difference."
"Used this for our centennial drive in October. The capacity warning was right — we had to book 10 weeks out. Every motel they listed was still open and worth it."
Why Not Just Use Google?
Before You Buy
What format is this — PDF or something else?
The Bucket List is delivered as a PDF download — immediate access after purchase, no account required. It's formatted for both screen reading and printing (US Letter, designed to be carried in a car). All Google Maps links are live and tappable on mobile.
Does it work without internet on the road?
Yes. Download the PDF to your device before departure. The document itself requires no internet. The Google Maps links require data to open — but if you pre-save locations to Google Maps offline, you can navigate without signal. Critical for the New Mexico and Arizona desert sections where cell coverage is unreliable.
Is this just a list, or does it tell me how to plan my trip?
It's a checklist with operational data — not a full itinerary. Every item includes GPS, difficulty, time required, day range, and opening hours where applicable. It gives you the framework to build a trip around. If you want a full 14-day itinerary with drive times, budget breakdowns, and 200+ GPS coordinates, that's the Route 66 Field Manual.
Are the hours and GPS coordinates accurate for 2026?
The guide was researched and verified through April 2026. We include well-established locations — businesses that have operated for decades — plus their current hours and direct GPS links. Updates are published at europetrip.us when things change. We flag seasonal closures and advance booking requirements where they apply.
