Wild West Arizona Ghost Towns

Las Vegas to Hoover Dam

The Wild West Arizona Ghost Towns Tour will start from your hotel in Las Vegas. The minibus will pick you up at 8:00 a.m. Your tour guide will be joining you from here on. Once the whole group is assembled, we will begin our adventure through the Old West towns that Route 66 hides as we drive through Arizona. You will leave Sin City for a short trip to the Hoover Dam. Get your camera ready, first stop there we go! This 726 feet (221 meters) dam holds back the powers of the water from the Colorado River. Behind the Colorado River, you will find Lake Mead. A beautiful man-made reservoir located within the Black Canyon Walls.

Chloride Arizona Ghost Town

Your day along Route 66 will continue and we will head to the little mining town of Chloride Arizona. This little ghost community has survived the harsh desert environment since the 1860s. After the mining boom was over, Chloride Arizona nearly became a ghost town itself. Today Chloride is home to about 250 residents. In the ghost town, you will be provided with some free time to visit the antique shops and chat with the locals before you enjoy your lunch. Be amazed by the number of artistic sculptures of this joyful artist’s community!

Route 66 to Oatman Arizona Ghost Town

Our next stop will take us for a drive along the historic Route 66 highway to the small ghost town of Oatman Arizona. The present-day population of this ghost town is 150 people and 1 poltergeist: Oatie the Ghost. Is believed to be the spirit of William Ray Flour, an Irish miner who died behind the Oatman hotel. You will enjoy views of the Black Mountains that surround this one-time mining tent camp. Admire the tumbleweeds and the wild burros (donkeys)! Have your picture taken alongside cowboys and bandits while posing in front of an authentic Route 66 sign. Your Instagram will be on fire 🔥

El Dorado Canyon Ghost Town - Mojave Desert

Our journey will continue on Route 66. We will take a break for a drink in a Local Saloon before we make our way through the Mojave Desert along the Veterans Memorial Highway to our final Ghost Town: El Dorado Canyon. This 18th mining town is the backdrop for many western movies. We will follow back this road to Sin City through the beautifully empty desert landscape. The perfect way to remember the openness of this part of America before returning to the big city lights and the glitz & glamour of Las Vegas.

Return to Las Vegas

We will arrive in Las Vegas around 6:00 p.m. The minibus will drop you off at your hotel, and you will say goodbye to our guide and your fellow travelers. You will then leave behind the magic of the Wild West to return to reality.
