Route 66

WILD TRAVELS goes off the beaten track to celebrate America's unusual festivals, little-known museums, outsider artists and unconventional characters. The Emmy® award-winning series is smart, funny, unexpected and a bit irreverent, spotlighting our country's most colorful, offbeat and quirky destinations.
