Route 66 California road trip, Mojave Desert, Amboy Crater, Roy’s Motel, Los Angeles drive — this is the FINAL stretch of the Mother Road from Arizona to the Pacific Ocean.

From abandoned motels in Needles to the eerie silence of the Mojave Desert… from Amboy Crater at sunrise to navigating Los Angeles traffic — this is where Route 66 changes completely.

This episode is the dramatic finale of the journey, packed with history, unexpected detours, road closures, ghost towns, and one last push to the Santa Monica Pier.

Will we actually make it to the finish line?
