Oatman Arizona

On Route 66

Meandering wild burros, a wild-west shootout, and a dusty village on a desolate stretch of America’s favorite highway.  Welcome to Oatman, a fun and quirky stop along Route 66 in northwestern Arizona.

The Oatman burros are direct descendants of the beasts of burden used by the gold miners in the late 1800s.
