Route 66 Roadside Attractions Photography

Route 66 is one of the most iconic highways in the United States, known for its collection of roadside attractions, neon signs, motels, diners, and desert towns. Stretching across the American West, the historic highway became famous for the unusual landmarks that drew travellers off the road.

These photographs document roadside attractions and historic stops along Route 66 in California and the Mojave Desert, capturing the architecture, signage, and landscapes that define the culture of the American road.

These photographs form part of Gem Redford’s ongoing documentary work exploring roadside culture and desert towns across the American West.
