Central New Mexico
Musical Highway (Route 66 Singing Road)
Photography: check before you shoot
Nearest Rail Runner station: Montaño · 18 miA grooved stretch of historic Route 66 (NM-333) east of Albuquerque near Tijeras where rumble strips play 'America the Beautiful' under your tires — drive the marked eastbound section at exactly 45 mph. One of only a few singing roads in the country; the grooves have worn with age, so the tune rewards a quiet car and good timing.
