• Nelson Ghost Town - Start your day with a scenic drive through the Nevada desert to Nelson, a former bustling gold mining town nestled in the rugged landscape of Eldorado Canyon. This captivating ghost town is home to well-preserved 19th-century buildings, vintage vehicles, and aged mining equipment that narrate the story of a past era. It’s a popular spot for photographers and history enthusiasts. You can also opt for a brief tour inside the Techatticup Mine, where you can explore old mining tunnels and hear tales of greed, gunfights, and gold.
• Oatman Ghost Town - After leaving Nelson, head south into Arizona, joining a stretch of the legendary Route 66. This historic highway is full of character and surrounded by desert beauty, offering a true sense of the American road trip spirit.

Situated in the Black Mountains, Oatman feels like stepping into a live movie set from the Old West. This former mining town is renowned for its wild burros — descendants of the donkeys brought by miners — who now wander freely through the streets, often pausing for snacks and selfies with visitors. Wooden sidewalks, historic saloons, and staged cowboy shootouts provide a fun, immersive experience. You’ll have time to shop for souvenirs, enjoy a meal, or explore the town’s many curiosities and stories, including rumors of ghosts and gold.

• Historic Route 66 Museum - Following Oatman, continue to Kingman, a significant town along Route 66, where you’ll visit the Arizona Route 66 Museum, located in the historic Powerhouse Visitor Center. This well-organized museum chronicles the evolution of Route 66, from the early wagon trails of Native American trade routes to the Dust Bowl migration and the postwar American road trip boom. The exhibits feature restored classic cars, vintage road signs, and captivating photos that bring the era to life. It’s a nostalgic exploration of one of America’s most iconic highways.
• Locomotive Park - Just a short walk from the museum is Locomotive Park, home to the impressive Santa Fe Steam Engine No. 3759 — a fully retired 1940s-era coal-burning locomotive that now stands as a monument to America’s golden age of rail. You can get up close and even step onto the train’s platform, offering a fantastic photo opportunity and a tangible feel of classic transportation. It’s a hidden gem for rail enthusiasts, children, and anyone who appreciates engineering history.
