I know the experts say people don’t read websites. They scan and scram. I’m asking you to slow down and enjoy the journey. Don’t worry about the destination. It will become apparent soon enough.

US Route 89 is a slow road, just two lanes for most its 1800 miles from Canada to Mexico. The views are unobstructed and right out the window. It is easy to stop to take a picture or just to smell the air. Small town museums and shops invite you to come in and browse. Be surprised. Learn something new. Or just catch your breath and relax.

The Road Trip Guides on this website are like the road itself. They are an opportunity to slow down and explore. There are maps, pop-up photo galleries and interesting stories to read. It’s like an Easter egg hunt—you never know what beautiful little surprise you’ll find.

This website is the product of one photographer’s journeys on US Route 89. It is constantly being added to as I continue with my quest to record the whole of the road. Check the What’s New page every Thursday to see the additions for the week.
