Historic Pre-1937 Route 66 Drive South of Albuquerque
2026-02-21 10:30 - 15:00 | Gutierrez Hubbell House, 6029 Isleta Blvd SW, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87105
In 2026, Route 66 turns 100, and the New Mexico Chapter of the BMW CCA will mark the Centennial with a special drive tracing one of the Mother Road’s earliest alignments south of Albuquerque. This tour follows the pre-1937 Route 66, highlighting a chapter of New Mexico highway history that was largely bypassed when the road was realigned.
We will meet at the historic Gutierrez Hubbell House (6029 Isleta Blvd SW, Albuquerque) on old Route 66 at 10:30 a.m. Participants are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy time at the museum as we gather. From there, we’ll depart as a group and follow Historic Route 66 south to Los Lunas, traveling the same roadway motorists used during Route 66’s earliest years.
Our first leg takes us along Historic Route 66 (NM 314) to Los Lunas, where we’ll stop for lunch at Teofilo’s Restaurante, a registered State Landmark on old Route 66. After lunch, we’ll continue west, following the original Route 66 alignment (NM 6) toward the Rio Puerco bridge. This bridge opened the Laguna Cutoff to transcontinental traffic thereby enabling the realignment of Route 66 and effectively ended the use of the older southern route. We’ll conclude the drive with a group photo opportunity near the original bridge before heading home.
Because lunch arrangements require a headcount, please RSVP below by Thursday, February 19, 2026.

Planned by Tourmeisters Scott and Donnette Wagner, this day trip combines engaging roads, fascinating history, and great company for a classic NM Chapter adventure.
We will gather at 9:00 a.m. at the Poeh Cultural Center in Pojoaque (78 Cities of Gold Rd., Santa Fe, NM) for a drivers’ meeting before departing promptly at 9:30 a.m. From there, we will enjoy a beautiful drive north through some of New Mexico’s most picturesque landscapes on our way to Taos.
Our destination, the Hacienda de los Martinez, offers a fascinating glimpse into life in Northern New Mexico during the early 1800s. Construction of the hacienda began in 1805 by Severino Martinez, whose family built a thriving mercantile and agricultural operation that helped shape the region’s history. Today, the restored hacienda serves as a museum filled with stories, architecture, and artifacts that bring New Mexico’s past to life. We plan to enjoy a group tour of the museum before heading to lunch at 5 Star Burgers in Taos for food, conversation, and camaraderie.
Whether you are a longtime chapter member or joining us for the first time, this promises to be a wonderful day of driving, history, and friendship in true BMW CCA style.
Please RSVP below by Thursday, July 23, 2026 so we can plan for museum admission and lunch accommodations. We hope you will join us for this unique Northern New Mexico adventure!
