Route 66 with accessibility in view

Amy Tarpein’s guide frames a Route 66 road trip around practical access needs across ages and abilities. It covers step-free routes, sensory-friendly stops, mobility-device considerations, and strategies for travel across generations, alongside points of interest such as diners, parks, museums, and roadside attractions. The book’s perspective is shaped by the author’s experience as a parent and her work supporting travel for medically complex children, disabled travelers, and caregivers. Its subject is both the route itself and the planning choices that can make a family journey more inclusive.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families planning a Route 66 trip with travelers who have disabilities or medical complexities
  • Caregivers, parents, and grandparents seeking accessibility-focused travel guidance
  • Travelers interested in step-free routes, sensory-friendly stops, and multi-generational planning

Written by award-winning accessible travel writer and single mother of ten, Amy Tarpein, this guide blends emotional storytelling with real-world accessibility insights for travelers of all ages and abilities.

 

Inspired by her son Elijah's terminal diagnosis, Amy founded Elijah's Baby Bucket List, a nationally recognized movement dedicated to making travel possible for medically complex children, disabled travelers, caregivers, and an aging society. Her work has earned two Anthem Awards for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and her platform was named the Best Accessible Family Travel Blog in the U.S. for 2025.

 

This guide offers step-free routes, sensory-friendly stops, mobility-device considerations, and multi-generational travel strategies. From neon-lit diners to peaceful parks, historic museums to quirky roadside attractions, Amy shows families how to experience the Mother Road with dignity, confidence, and joy.
