"Inevitably, we were led by some nostalgia: Route 66, for instance, was an easy one. Next year, visitors can commemorate 100 years of cruising the Mother Road, and whether you're driving on stretches in Missouri or New Mexico, you'll not only get to appreciate a neon-lit glow-up but you'll also be reminded of the role this byway has played in America's history and how its story has been told."
"We were inspired even more so by stories of reinvention: Former industrial cities Portland, Oregon, and Buffalo are both looking to script new futures anchored in cultural openings and urban revitalisation efforts. And over in Deer Valley, Utah, the end of one dazzling chapter (the Sundance Film Festival) just means there's room for a new one: in this case, the largest ski resort expansion in North American history."
The year 2026 will coincide with the United States' 250th anniversary, prompting national parks, historic sites, and cities to stage a variety of celebrations. Notable commemorations include Route 66's centennial of cruising and Catalina Island's centennial as a resort destination, both evoking nostalgia and historic character. Former industrial cities such as Portland and Buffalo are pursuing reinvention through cultural openings and urban revitalization. Deer Valley, Utah, anticipates a major ski-resort expansion following the Sundance Film Festival's move. The geographic scope includes North America, the Caribbean, and Mexico, and recognizes ancient human settlement and deep geological foundations.
