This stunning video features the images of Wyman Meinzer, the official photographer for the state of Texas, and the music of Doug Smith.
The images don’t strictly come from Route 66 — although Palo Duro Canyon State Park south of Amarillo is a common side trip — but they’re fairly typical from what you might encounter in the Texas Panhandle, New Mexico, Arizona and western Oklahoma.
