You WILL see a donkey while you are here, it is a for sure. While you are here, enjoy the touristy stores full of donkey inspired items. Do buy the donkey food and feed the donkeys. Please do not bring carrots to feed them. Although the donkeys LOVE them, there are many that have diabetes because of their high sugar intake from the over-indulging on carrots. Visit the museums in town and learn about its mining history. See the hotel and enjoy that small museum as well. Be transported back to the old west through the stories and views. If you are here at the right time, you may even see a reenactment of a gun fight, right on the main street outside the saloon. Use the many photo ops to create memories and be sure to take Route 66 out of town for a whole other adventure! This town is perfect for young and old alike. Be sure to leave yourself a few hours to wonder around. You will be so glad you made the trek!

We spent a day in Oatman, Az. It was a spectacle. Let's start with the drive in...something called…read more"Sidewinder Road". If you are driving a larger RV, come in from the other direction...this road is so much fun, cutbacks, hairpin turns oh...and beware of a stray donkey or two. Take advantage of some of the amazing overlooks down into the valley. When you get to town, watch where you step, donkeys have taken over this ghost town and they do not care where they leave their "stuff". Make sure to buy some "donkey food" they will eat right out of your hand...and if you are in your car they will stick their head in n to see what you have for them. We brought our 6 year old granddaughter and she spent the entire time giggling at the donkeys. Outside of the donkeys, there are mine tours and plenty of shops to get whatever trinkets your heart may desire.

Route 66 Sculpture [Kingman AZ]…read more Driving along on Route 66 on our way to Seligman there was an unexpected roadside attraction. Actually, we didn't happen upon this sculpture we actually bookmarked this place to see it. We were on a mission to find all these kitschy, quirky attractions along Route 66 that we could. The building next to Giganticus Headicus operates as a Route 66 gift shop, unfortunately, the Antares Point Visitor Center|Gift Shop was closed for the season when we stopped by. Yup, this larger than life quirky attraction is a 14-foot tall big green head and was created in 2004 by a local artist... it actually looks like part Tiki and part Easter Island Moai. Since the gift shop was closed we took our photos and quickly moved on. If you're traveling Route 66 through Arizona, don't forget to HEAD on over to Kingman to check out Giganticus Headicus.

The Heart of Historic Route 66! [Kingman AZ]…read more Kingman has that authentic small-town vibe that is packed with history. Not in any particular order but we stopped at the following places: * Locomotive Park - hop aboard a steam engine and a caboose! This is home to famed Steam Engine #3759 and Caboose 999520. Historic and huge! * Kingman Visitor Center - The folks at the visitor center are friendly and can provide all kinds of helpful information so you can better know what to do and what to see while you're in town * Arizona Route 66 Museum - A single ticket gave us access to the Route 66 Museum; the Mohave Museum; and the Bonelli House, a restored house from 1915. Unfortunately the Mohave Museum was closed at the time and we didn't make it to the Bonelli House. Kingman felt both the boom and bust of being on Route 66, and this history is chronicled at the Arizona Route 66 Museum. It featured the historical evolution of travel along Route 66 with vintage artifacts, dioramas, murals, and photographs, etc. * Historic Electric Vehicle Exhibit - this is a bonus and is included in the "one fee for all three" program for its most popular museums. The exhibit is located upstairs inside the Arizona Route 66 Museum. * Route 66 Drive-thru sign - this is a giant version of the famous Route 66 road sign where cars can line up in a loop and drive through and stop under the sign to take pics. Very cool! * Giganticus Headicus - Can't miss this giant green 14-foot-tall Tiki head situated on Historical Route 66, just 20 miles north of Kingman We had an early dinner at Thai 66. Small and unassuming restaurant with delicious food (separate review). In conclusion, whether you are a history buff, nature lover, or adventure seeker, this city has something for everyone...

Everyone has a magical place to go to where negativity disappears. One of the magical places I go…read moreto is the Magic Tree in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area off of the River Mountains Loop Trail at Mile Marker 13. The Magic Tree is a tall cottonwood tree that got its name from it being magic that a tall cottonwood thrives in the desert. In an exaggerated way it reminds me of the Tree of Life in Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom. Seeing it in proportion to the desert, the Magic Tree looks monumental. Then again, it isn't an exageration that the Magic Tree is The Tree of Life. When my spirit is dying and I have worries, this is a special spot where I leave the material world to open up my soul. This has been a place where I have prayed and spent time in reflection. If anything it has improved my quality of life. This is a magical place that is accessible by a 1.2 mile hike or bike ride on the precious River Mountains Loop Trail (abbreviated RMLT). To reach the parking lot from the Las Vegas Valley, you want to head eastbound on Lake Mead Parkway (Nevada Route 564) all the way to the boundary of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area border. Immediately before the Fee Station, you will turn right into the RMLT parking lot. This is a modern parking lot with sufficient parking spaces. From the parking lot you will head toward a kiosk. Here, you will see some useful information about the area. Beyond the kiosk is a short RMLT spur. At the T-intersection, turn left on the River Mountains Loop Trail. The paved trail starts off straight as it brings you into the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. At this point the trail transitions into a rural landscape with a parallel equestrian trail. The trail gains elevation as the 's-curves blend into the contours of the desert hills. The scenery improves with a scenic overlook of Lake Las Vegas and a vista of the rolling desert carpet reaching toward the mountains and Lake Mead. In the distance below, you could make out a Circle of green. This is the Magic Tree. The RMLT winds along another s-curve as it lowers back to the desert floor. It soon straightens out as it rejoins the equestrian trail. Near the mile marker 13, it will separate from the equestrian trail again. Now you want to keep right on the equestrian trail that will reach the Magic Tree in a short distance. The Magic Tree looks more like a savanna than a desert. It is an oasis. When you look at the Magic Tree you will notice a pipeline travelling horizontal in its shadow. This pipeline itself is interesting for the fact that it is one of the first water pipelines from Lake Mead. This very water is part of the soundtrack to a visit to the Magic Tree. If you close your eyes, it has that nice sound of a waterfall. To take in the Grand views of the Magic Tree, I suggest that you duck under the pipeline. This is the spot to spend time in reflection at the Magic Tree. Beyond the Magic Tree is a magical world of hiking trails. I call the trail originating from the Magic Tree toward the River Mountains foothills the Magic Tree Trail. It travels on a rocky topography through small canyons with slight elevation gains. In March, the wildflower bloom brings the desert to life. This is an area worthy of exploring. I give the Magic Tree five stars. How can I give a magical place any less?

There is a historic train station that has been restored and now houses an Amtrak Station, Welcome Center and a few other offices. We walked around the station and enjoyed watching the trains. There is a museum down town that was not opened during our Sunday visit. Charles Shultz was from Needles, so there are tributes and murals to him and "Spike" around town. There is not a lot of commerce but there are a couple nice hotels and we found a few good restaurants. Gas prices are unfriendly, but you can cross the river and find better prices.
