PLEASE NOTE: Cameras CANNOT BE USED IN THE VAULT. Rules will be explained before entering the vault. PS, We were staying in Long Beach.

Yes it runs through Los Angeles and although it's acknowledged with small Route 66 signs, the route now, of course goes by a number of different street names.

Lots of interesting history.
