It's well worth the time, effort, and gas. Along the Route 66 corridor in Los Angeles County alone you get standard road fare: gas (Shamrock Station in Monrovia), food (The Raymond in Pasadena, Mom's Tamales in Lincoln Heights, Irv's Burgers in West Hollywood), and lodging (Aztec Hotel in Monrovia). You also get your standard road items including the first freeway west of the Mississippi River, the only vehicular tunnels on Route 66, the Colorado Street "Suicide" Bridge, and the oldest still-in-use bridge along Route 66. Top all of that off with 35 National Register of Historic Places Landmarks that include the oldest museum in Los Angeles (The Southwest Museum of the American Indian), the Rose Bowl, Old Pasadena Historic District, the state theater in the Pasadena Playhouse District, and one of the first drive-through markets in Southern California (El Centro Market in South Pasadena), and you have a few days' worth of adventure in one trip.
