Distance

The total distance from Chicago to Santa Monica is about 2280 miles. The half way point is Adrian TX (near Armarilo). We certainly hope to get at least that far!!



The precise distance depends on the exact route you follow. US 66 was re-routed several times. For example, one route went through Santa Fe, while a later route did not. That shows in the little map, above.

The only reservations we have made in advance are for the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque.
