## Caption

Celebrate 100 years of the Mother Road throughout 2026! Cap off a Route 66 trip at the “End of the Trail” sign on Santa Monica Pier, the symbolic end of this road. 🚙 Mel’s Drive-In is located nearby at the official end of Route 66—the intersection of Lincoln and Olympic Boulevards. 🛣️ Housed in a historic 1950s building, Mel’s offers American diner favorites, a retro vibe, and a colorful Route 66 mural. 🥞
