Great Rivers Scenic Route

Reviewed By apkh0828 - Granite City, United States

AMAZING RIVER VIEW, LEAVES TURNING, QUAINT LITTLE TOWN OF Elijah, Bike Trail, Bird Watching, with many great shops in the town of Grafton. Nice wine tasting places, book shops, antique shops, ice cream parlor, and of course my favorite rock shop just as you enter Grafton on the right hand side of street. Beasley Fish and Find Inn our favorite places to eat. And for the bikers HogPit is the place to go! Head North to Pete Marquette State Park for great hiking and horseback riding. Spend a day or a weekend here, you will love it!

Route 66

Reviewed By 490irinag - Illinois, United States

It's just a historic sign, but it means a lot in the greatest history of industrial development of this part of country and its important connection to the West. This sign marks the Beginning of Route 66, that starts at the corner of S Michigan Ave (opposite the Arts Institute), and goes on through Adams Street, and then further west and southwest, and all the way to California. ... History is on every street , at every corner, in every building, park, monument or sign in this fascinating city! ...
