Today was a fantastic day filled with some of the most iconic stops along Arizona’s stretch of Route 66.

Meeting the Delgadillos

Our morning began in Seligman, where we had the pleasure of meeting Angel and Juan Delgadillo, two legends of Route 66 preservation. Angel is widely credited with helping revive interest in Route 66 and preserve the historic road through Arizona. It was wonderful to meet them and hear some of their stories.

Hackberry General Store

From Seligman we continued west to the Hackberry General Store, which also serves as a Route 66 visitor center. The store is packed with vintage signs, classic cars, and Route 66 memorabilia — an absolute must-stop along this section of the Mother Road.

Kingman

Next we arrived in Kingman, where we stopped at The Powerhouse, home to the Route 66 museum and visitor center. It’s a great place to learn about the history of the road and the communities that grew along it.

Oatman Road

Leaving Kingman, we followed Oatman Road, one of the most scenic and winding stretches of old Route 66. The road twists through the rugged Black Mountains before dropping down into the old mining town of Oatman, famous for its wandering burros and Wild West atmosphere.

Down to the Colorado River

Continuing along historic Route 66, we descended toward the Colorado River, passing through Topock before crossing into Needles, California.

After reaching Needles, we decided to turn around and head back east — this time taking “The Evil I” (Interstate 40) back toward Kingman.

Dinner at Mr. D’z

Back in Kingman we stopped for dinner at Mr. D’z Route 66 Diner, a classic retro diner known for its burgers, root beer floats, and great Route 66 atmosphere.

After dinner we continued east and spent the night back in Williams, Arizona, wrapping up another memorable day on the Mother Road.
