Historic Route 66 draws travelers from all over the world. The byway's charm, history, and atmosphere combine to give you an unforgettable experience as you drive "The Mother Road" across America. Although many people associate the byway with quirky culture and long stretches of road, others dig a little deeper to enjoy nature-watching and exploration, especially in Las Vegas National Wildlife Refuge. Located just east of Las Vegas, New Mexico, the refuge covers nearly 9,000 acres of varied landscape that provides a crucial habitat for over 270 bird species.
