Description
Experience the desert’s Wild West heritage on a shared or private day trip departing from Las Vegas. Your guide picks you up and takes you first to the Hoover Dam, a key engineering landmark holding back the Colorado River and powering much of the Southwestern U.S.
Next, visit Chloride, Arizona, a functioning ghost town with a history dating to the 1860s. Interact with its 250 residents and learn about local history before enjoying a deli-style lunch with vegetarian options.
After lunch, travel along iconic Route 66 to Oatman, a small ghost town home to about 150 residents and said to be haunted by 'Oatie the Ghost,' the spirit of an Irish miner. Surrounding Black Mountains provide opportunities for striking photographs. Catch a cowboy shootout show at the local saloon.
Before returning to Las Vegas, stop for a drink at the saloon, then drive through the Mojave Desert and the historic gold rush town of Eldorado Canyon.
