    Mood- I am that Girl that stops So on our journey we seen this on the side of the road and of course my attention was piqued. I mean how could it not be. Unless you have been under a rock your whole life, the grounds are very Disney CARS inspired. The large Headicus stands 14ft tall and was created by a local artist named Gregg Arnold, who originated from New Jersey. It was started in 2003 and completed in 2004. The statue is created out of wood, chicken wire, metal, styro-foam, and cement. This side of the road attraction is in the Antares Road Visitor Center, complete with a store, art gallery, picnic area, and several other pieces of outdoor art. This place was originally the Kozy Corner Trail Park. ( hmmm, even the name is obvious ) In 2017 Arnold starting selling small replicas of Headicus after transforming the building into a gift shop. Some of the other artworks on the grounds that have been created are a rocketship made out of a wooden sign , and a windmill that uses furniture from the 50's for the blades. Plus other really neat photo ops if you are creative enough. Would recommend - pricing is free, plenty of parking. Just take a break out of your roadtrip and take in the idea of something that you've seen in the movies but now in person, that was actually inspired. When we were here the gift shop ect was closed, but the outside was all accessible. Location is Route 66 in Walapai - ample parking

    Fun stop along Route 66. Giganticus Headicus was painted pink for Breast Cancer awareness month. We stopped for some quick pictures and hopped back on the road to continue our road trip.

    Okay, wife was not happy at all with this detour at all. She basically kept looking at me with a…read moreWTF look the last 1 1/2 miles. The journey to view the journey was around 7 miles off route 93. The last part was rock and dirt, and I do not recommend low clearance vehicles despite what I read. No cell service, so don't break down or you are walking back to Chloride. I have FOMO (fear of missing out), so it was worth it for me, but maybe not the backlash from the wife-LOL. The murals were cool and have withstand the test of time pretty well. The history behind them make them more interesting. Google it (Roy Purcell). For us FOMO peeps, cool stop, anyone else you can probably skip and not feel like u missed out. Visitor center had two great ladies who explained how to get there (watch for arrows) and informed me about the petroglyphs.

    The Roy Purcell Murals in Chloride, Arizona, are a unique roadside stop worth checking out if…read moreyou're exploring the area. Located just off Route 93 about 23 miles from Kingman, Chloride is considered the oldest continuously populated mining town in the state. The town itself is small but has a few places to grab a drink, browse for Arizona-themed souvenirs, and see some quirky roadside features--like an old bullet-riddled car. The murals are located just outside of town and can be reached via a rough, unpaved road. A truck or vehicle with good clearance is strongly recommended, and 4-wheel drive can be helpful. Trailers are not advised due to the condition of the road. Look for painted arrows on rocks to help guide you along the way. Once you reach the site, the murals are impressive and the surrounding desert view adds to the atmosphere. It's a quiet and remote area, and you may find yourself the only one there. Overall, it's a nice off-the-beaten-path spot that gives you a taste of Arizona's artistic and historical side.

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.

This…read morelittle historic town is full of character and charm, and it truly feels like stepping back in time along Route 66. 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!

    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?

    A charming slice of Americana [Seligman AZ]…read more Seligman marks the birthplace of Historic Route 66. It is a historic town and the first stop west on the longest stretch of historic Route 66. This was my 2nd time visiting this town. The first time was in 2010, a quick detour on our way to South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. On this our second visit we took our time, dined here, and even did a little shopping. I love the little throwback in time. Route 66 passes right through Seligman and was once in the brink of being decommissioned when high-speed I-40 was built and made Route 66 obsolete. Seligman residents especially one man who was not about to let this happen convinced the State of Arizona to dedicate Route 66 a historic highway. Angel Delgadillo is the crusader who led the charge to save Route 66. He has been nicknamed "The Guardian Angel of Route 66". We dined at Westside Lilo's... they serve breakfast all day and famous for their carrot cake. Across the street is another restaurant called Roadkill Cafe. On the parking lot are roadside attraction to attract tourists to the Cafe. The "Seligman Depot" and the "1860 Arizona Territorial Jail" are not authentic historical buildings, but owned by the Roadkill Cafe. Also, the Arizona Territory did not exist until 1863 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Don't forget to stop by Angel & Vilma Delgadillo's Original Route 66 Gift Shop and Delgadillos Snow Cap. If you love road trips, historical sites, retro towns, or all of the above, Seligman is the perfect place for you. Can you guess what Pixar movie was inspired by this town?
