Type | Attraction |
Category | Scenic |
Description | A former mining town located in the Black Mountains of Mohave County, Arizona, Oatman was all but abandoned by the 1960s after the gold mines closed in the 1940s and Route 66 in 1953. Today, Oatman has undergone a renaissance of sorts in recent years thanks to burgeoning worldwide interest in Route 66. Wild burros (donkeys) freely roam the town and can be hand-fed carrots and burro chow, both readily available in practically every store in town. While in Oatman you can enjoy the majestic scenery, experience live gunfights, costumed dancers, and be greeted by the friendly wild burros. Oatman takes pride in keeping its town as authentic as possible, giving visitors a look back into history, showing the Wild West as it really was. |
