Well, it’s the end of a road, anyway:
![[Please visit my site to see the map that would otherwise be embedded here]](http://www.triskele.com/images/map.gif)
This is the intersection of Colorado Avenue and Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, California. Passing underneath the intersection is California Highway 1. Just to the northeast is the official western end of I-10, and extending to the southwest is the Santa Monica Pier.
This site is also considered the symbolic end of old Route 66, although the historic designation officially terminated some distance east of here, at the intersection of Lincoln and Olympic.

That curving road you see starting from Ocean to the south of the intersection is Moomat Ahiko Way, which leads down to PCH from Ocean. “Moomat Ahiko” is a Chumash phrase meaning “breath of the ocean.”
