Cool Arizona Places: Visit Route 66 Near Kingman

If you have seen the forecast for this weekend you know that our Valley of the Sun is heating back up into the low one hundreds.  Just why is it that it can be cool during the week and then get hot just in time for us to try and have some fun?

So let’s hope you don’t need AC Repair this weekend.  But if you do think to call Aaron’s Mechanical Services at 623-388-4436 and we will be there to rescue you and your family.

You can escape to the northern part of our wonderful state and visit the Kingman and Seligman area where you should see temperatures in the sixties and seventies for afternoon highs.  Yes, it seems there may be a chance of showers as well. A spectacular, if somewhat white-knuckle, drive from Oatman through the Black Mountains on a narrow section of Route 66 brings you to Kingman, where the excellent Historic Route 66 Museum shares space with the town’s visitor’s center in the historic Powerhouse building. Along with showcasing such classic Route 66 artifacts as a muscle car and Texaco station, the museum traces the metamorphosis of the early trade and wagon routes into the world’s most famous highway. 

The Route 66 Museum is truly unique in that it is a museum of history, located in the “heart” of the longest remaining stretch of the 2,400 miles that was Route 66. The Route 66 Museum depicts the historical evolution of travel along the 35th parallel that became Route 66. Their brilliant murals, photos and life size dioramas capture each of the groups that have traveled the route that has come to be known as the Mother Road.

The nearby Mohave Museum of History and Arts focuses on the area’s rich history and heritage of the people who helped found Mohave County.

Take a one hundred mile scenic joy ride on the longest continuous stretch of old Route 66 from Kingman to Seligman, the nostalgia-inducing town that led the drive to preserve the historic road. 

You’ll pass the old railroad town of Hackberry and the Frontier Motel & Cafe in Peach Springs. If you have time, descend into Grand Canyon Caverns, an ancient cave system that hosts the world’s deepest motel room (220 feet below sea level).
