Oatman Ghost Town
Mohave County • Arizona • AZ
💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •Don't forget your camera! The town's rustic charm and its wild burro inhabitants offer unique photo opportunities.
- •Visit the Oatman Hotel, where Clark Gable and Carole Lombard spent their honeymoon. It's a must-see!
- •Pack snacks for the road trip. There are few places to stop for food on the journey.
- •Feel free to pet the burros, but remember they are wild animals - always approach with caution and respect.
- •Wear comfortable shoes. The town's uneven terrain can be hard on feet unaccustomed to it.
