Oatman, Arizona, a famous Old West-style town along Route 66, where wild burros roam freely through the streets. The rustic wooden buildings, historic signs, and rugged desert landscape reflect the town’s rich mining history.

Oatman’s Unique History & Burros
Originally a gold mining town in the early 1900s.
The burros are descendants of pack animals left behind by miners.
Today, they wander the streets, interacting with tourists and being fed carrots or burro-friendly treats.
The town maintains its Wild West charm, with gunfight reenactments, souvenir shops, and historic saloons.
