Nelson Ghost Town
Your day begins with a scenic drive through the Nevada desert to Nelson Ghost Town, a once-booming gold mining settlement set in the rugged landscape of Eldorado Canyon. Spend about an hour exploring at a relaxed pace, walking among well-preserved historic buildings, vintage vehicles, and old mining equipment that offer a glimpse into the area’s Wild West past. This atmospheric ghost town is especially popular with photographers and history enthusiasts. Guests who wish may also optionally visit the Techatticup Mine for a guided underground tour, where stories of mining life and frontier history bring the town’s past to life.

Oatman Ghost Town
Leaving Nelson, travel south into Arizona and join a scenic stretch of the iconic Route 66, where desert landscapes and classic roadside views capture the spirit of the American road trip. Continue to Oatman, a historic mining town set in the Black Mountains and best known for its friendly wild burros — descendants of the donkeys once used by miners.
Enjoy up to 90 minutes of free time to explore at a relaxed pace. Wander the wooden sidewalks, see the burros roaming through town, browse souvenir shops, and grab lunch or snacks if you wish. With its Old West charm and laid-back atmosphere, Oatman offers one of the most memorable stops along Route 66 without feeling rushed.

After Oatman, continue to Kingman, one of the most important towns along historic Route 66. Visit the Arizona Route 66 Museum, located inside the restored Powerhouse Visitor Center, for an engaging look at the road’s history and cultural impact. Spend about 30–45 minutes exploring exhibits that showcase classic cars, vintage road signs, and historic photographs, offering a nostalgic glimpse into America’s golden age of road trips. This stop provides context and storytelling that brings the Route 66 experience full circle.

Locomotive Park
Just steps from the museum, make a brief stop at Locomotive Park to see the impressive Santa Fe Steam Engine No. 3759, a fully restored 1940s-era locomotive on public display. Spend about 15–20 minutes getting up close to this iconic piece of railroad history, with time for photos and a closer look at the engine’s details. This easy, outdoor stop adds a memorable touch to the Route 66 experience without extending the day.
