The drive to Oatman, Arizona on Route 66 from Kingman is only about 30 miles west on the map, but you have to go through the Black Mountains of Mohave County, enduring extremely steep climbs and descents, sharp curves at 10 miles per hour or less, and dropoffs from the narrow cliffs that leave you very little room for error. While it's a treacherous and nerve-wracking stretch of road, it is also one of the most beautiful segments of Route 66. And the payoff for making it through this challenging drive along the long and winding road is arriving in this charming old mining town that makes you truly feel like you're in the Wild West!
