Splendide viste panoramiche. Il Passo di Sitgreaves fu mappato per la prima volta dal Capitano Lorenzo Sitgreaves nel 1851 durante una spedizione per vedere se il Colorado e altri fiumi potevano essere navigati in battello a vapore. Dalla cima del passo a un'altitudine di 3.550 piedi (1.082 m), puoi vedere attraverso le Montagne Nere in California e Nevada ad ovest e attraverso i tornanti panoramici verso le montagne Hualapai in Arizona ad est.
Ci fermeremo al Rock Shop della Route 66. Tesori estratti dalla montagna delle Black Hills: agata di fuoco, roccia ossea di dinosauro e altro ancora. Continuiamo lungo la Scenic Historic Route 66 sul tratto di strada denominato "Sidewinder". Viste mozzafiato abbondano in questa sezione di 66.

Excellent tour would like it to bee longer
Thank you so much for the wonderful 5‑star review. We’re thrilled you enjoyed your time in Oatman. Just to share a little more for future guests: our Oatman tour is flexible, and the length is shaped largely by what each guest prefers. Some visitors like to stay for lunch, explore all the shops, interact with the burros, and catch the gunfight, while others prefer a shorter visit. Because of that flexibility, the tour is generally scheduled as a half‑day experience with lunch offered as an optional add‑on. We’re grateful you joined us and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Our tour guide Ed was on time, courteous and very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the region. He also had great knowledge about the local history! We greatly enjoyed the tour of the Rt 66 museum. He gave great advice regarding the safety around the donkeys and we promptly witnessed what happens when you don’t pay attention. A donkey decided he wanted a person’s shopping bag and he was very serious about getting it. Oatman was definitely an experience! We enjoyed ourselves.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Ed made your tour such a great experience. His knowledge of the local history, flora, and fauna really brings the Route 66 area to life, and he’ll appreciate your kind words. We’re also glad his safety tips were helpful — the burros can be adorable but very determined when they spot a shopping bag. Oatman is always an unforgettable stop, and we’re happy you enjoyed your time there. We appreciate you joining us for the adventure!
If you live in a city you would enjoy this trip! It’s not like the wilderness but brings you into a country town filled with nature surrounding you. It was relaxing and fun!

In early October, my husband and I were escorted by Brandon on a tour of absolute enjoyment, just the 3 of us. We motored to Kingman and visited the Route 66 and Electric Vehicle Museum, eventually moving on to Oatman while enjoying what the historic Routh 66 had to offer along the way. We listened to his incredible knowledge about the mining camps, Route 66, the Black Mountains and untold amounts of information Brandon had stored in his mind. Such a remarkable man that has experienced so much of this beautiful area and was willing to share things we never would've known. Brandon is a very knowledgeable environmentalist and made this day one we will never forget. We especially enjoyed Oatman with the fabled free-roaming burros, which Brandon knew each individual burro and called them by their name. The historical hotel we dined at in Oatman at lunchtime was incredible! Clark Gable and Carol Lombard loved to hang out here and play poker, away from the publicity. You mustn't miss this place...the food was terrific, however the interior of this hotel/museum was a sight to behold! There's over a half million dollar bills attached to every available inch of space on the walls, ceilings, steps, absolutely everywhere...signed by visitors that have also left their own signed dollar bill behind! There's a story here about this tradition, concerning how it started with the early miners that begs to tell. You should call Brandon to take you there to learn the story! Call Desert Wonder Adventures, LLC if you want to enjoy a wonderful experience. Bob Walton is the owner, and he is a dream to work with in planning your tours. He has superb employees working for him that give it their all to make your tour the best experience possible. In fact, we made a return trip in early November to experience another fantastic tour with employee Eddie. We certainly enjoyed the west rim of the Grand Canyon and Joshua Tree Forest with Eddie this time! A big THANK YOU to Desert Wonder Adventures. We'll be back again...looking forward to it!
Thank you for sharing such an outstanding review. We’re thrilled to hear that both of your tours were unforgettable experiences. Brandon and Eddie will be delighted to know their knowledge, passion, and hospitality made such a strong impression. Exploring Route 66, Oatman, the burros, and the historic hotel is always special, and we’re glad the stories and scenery brought the day to life. It’s wonderful to hear that your return visit to the Grand Canyon West and Joshua Tree Forest was just as memorable. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team and the care we put into every tour. Thank you again for choosing Desert Wonder Adventures — we look forward to welcoming you back for your next adventure.
Go here, enjoy and have a great time in an old town with burros and lots of people enjoying the atmosphere. The drive from Laughlin was fun and scenic.
