This was a fun and scary drive part of Historic Route 66! When hubby was driving on this mountain pass on our way to Oatman, I had to cover my eyes sometimes but then I would get dizzy so I kept my eyes open LoL! It took us about 45 minutes to reach the town of Oatman driving through an entirely paved road with very few guardrails. I would not attempt driving this road after dark. Sitgreaves Pass is listed in the website of dangerousroads.org. I snapped a screenshot of the description and the ride experience. When we reached the town of Oatman there was a sign that read "You just survived 8 miles of 191 curves. Gahhhhh! Review #3699

It feels surreal to be able to see and walk over this national landmark. The entire bridge is beautiful from end to end, and the surrounding lake and just the location make it a great tourist spot and a great visual representation of the city. I checked out a local brewery next door and some nightlife for tourists around the corner. This is a great tourist hang out spot. You won't really find locals hanging out here, though; they'd rather steer clear of tourists, so if you want to meet locals, this is not the place, but you will meet plenty of other tourists in this area. Right next to it is the London Bridge Beach, which is also a great place to check out.

Right on the Colorado river gives you an incredible view of not only the glistening ripples of flow, but an incredible experience of changing colors of water and the nearby dam. Contemporary meets ancient. A truly soothing environment.

The marker is right in the side of the road so it's easy to spot. Super peaceful and kind of amazing that someone had the patience and artistry to create something like this. I enjoyed walking through the big spiral, there are a couple of them. I think others have made their own little ones nearby and the rock balancings. All the recent rain made for some pretty flowers scattered around. Good for a nice morning walk outside the smoky casino life across the way.

There is a small dirt parking lot and a restroom. Enjoy the history and the scenery.

I just got a place out here and even after visiting Bullhead City, Laughlin, and the Colorado River for 30 years, I learned SO much at the museum. It is free (suggested, zero-pressure $3 donation) and they have a little gift shop with cool BHC and Colorado River items, all very fairly priced. See the old school house too! Totally a must-visit place in Bullhead City. Just take note of the hours so you don't miss the window of opportunity!

I especially enjoy it when they know nothing about Oakland and then they get up there and are surprised. It is a small compact two block town; of the residence and employees of all the little gift shops. I've always been very friendly and helpful. They are always welcoming. There are meals and snacks to be bought while visiting. Oh and of course, I forgot the gun fight acting in the street. Out of all the times we've been there there's only been one time we have not seen a donkey. We just went this week and we have seen more donkeys this time that we have ever seen there including about 20 welcoming us into town right on the road as we entered You want to visit this town at least once not a bad drive there either.

We spent time exploring the Oatman Jail and the Oatman Mine, both of which were really interesting and added to the town's old-west history. Of course, the highlight was making friends with the many donkeys roaming the streets--they are everywhere and make the visit even more special. The shops, people, and overall atmosphere were welcoming and unique, with something interesting around every corner. Oatman has a way of slowing you down and making you want to take it all in. On our way back home to Vegas, we took Route 66, and the drive was absolutely beautiful. The scenery alone made the trip worth it. If you're looking for a fun day trip, love history, or just want a unique experience, Oatman is definitely worth the visit. We'll absolutely be back!

Mood- My Weird Travels…read more I have traveled to Phoenix and all over Arizona many many times. If Im not sneaking off to a beach in Cali, I am definitely roadtripping thru Arizona. During all of my haunts I have seen this road side attraction but never stopped. Maybe cause I was going well over 85, however today was the day to pull over and get up close and personal. Four figures sit atop rocket which is created out of an old telephone pole, complete with tail fins and a nose. There are 3 Snoopys in the back while Woodstock is riding the very front. This neat attraction was created by a couple of people from Michigan in the 90s who bought the property at that time. The property is private and there is a sign that states no trespassing. So def be careful as your trying to get up close and personal for those photos. In addition people have complained about the ground. It does get really muddy and your vehicle can get stuck if your not careful. Would def recommend as it is something worth seeing at least once in your life - especially if your into roadside attractions. Location is Hwy 93/ Wikieup - ample parking off the side of the road
