About Sierra Madre, California: Gateway to the San Gabriel Mountains
Sierra Madre is a picturesque city nestled directly at the foot of the majestic San Gabriel Mountains, affectionately known as the "Village of the Foothills." Though not directly on the main alignment of Route 66, its close proximity made it a popular destination for travelers seeking a scenic detour or a quieter overnight stay during the highway's golden age.
The city's origins trace back to the 1880s as a citrus-growing community. Its charming character, complete with historic diners, motels, and shops, offered a tranquil alternative to the more bustling roadside towns. A major draw for visitors is its legendary Wistaria Vine, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest blossoming plant. Each spring, the city celebrates with a festival dedicated to its spectacular purple blooms, a historical spelling the town has retained.
While Interstate 210 eventually bypassed the main Route 66 traffic, Sierra Madre has maintained its unique character and vibrant community spirit. Its well-preserved historic downtown and annual Wistaria Festival ensure its enduring appeal for those exploring the broader Route 66 experience.
