I think the best parts of the Route are those going through TX, NM and AZ.

Though I say that as somebody for whom those "western"/rocky/deserty looking places were extra enchanting and unfamiliar. So, if you're from the midwest in the first place, I guess it's not the same experience.

The "official" end is in Santa Monica (right before the pier), with a memorial plate for the guy they named the highway after etc.
