Amboy: Roy's Café

Amboy: Roy's Café

Roy’s Café in Amboy is one of Route 66’s most iconic stops, with its neon sign standing as a beacon for travelers on this historic route. A significant historical site along Route 66, symbolizing the golden era of American road travel. Established in 1938, it became a vital stop for travelers crossing the Mojave Desert. The unique mid-century modern architecture, particularly its famous neon sign, has made it an iconic landmark. Although the motel is no longer operational, the gas station and café remain key attractions, offering a nostalgic experience for visitors who want to connect with the history of Route 66.

A nearby natural wonder, the Amboy Crater, offers an exciting excursion for those visiting Roy’s. The crater, a dormant volcanic cinder cone, is a National Natural Landmark and provides visitors with hiking opportunities and panoramic views of the surrounding desert. Formed around 79,000 years ago. Since its last eruption almost 10,000 ago, the volcano now stands as a lonely landmark. The crater is a striking geological feature and a must-see for anyone interested in the natural history of the Mojave Desert.

In combination, Roy's Motel & Café and the Amboy Crater create a fascinating blend of history and nature for visitors exploring Route 66. Roy’s preserves the human story of America’s love affair with the open road, while Amboy Crater showcases the raw, ancient beauty of the desert landscape. Together, they offer a full day of exploration, whether you are looking to relive the past or take in the stunning natural scenery.
