Laughlin Wows Visitors
A once-thriving mining community, Oatman, Ariz., takes visitors back to the days of the Old West with cowboy
gunfights and showdowns in the middle of town. Wild burros roam the streets of this popular setting for many
movies and TV westerns. Oatman’s most famous visitors were Clark Gable and Carol Lombard who stayed there
briefly during their well-publicized “elopement” in the 1930s.
City folks can saddle up for a scenic western trail ride with
Oatman Stables. Your trail guide will take you through the hills
of Oatman for a cowboy’s view. Supper rides, breakfast rides and
cattle drives are also available September through May.
Christmas Tree Pass and Grapevine Canyon, located about seven
miles west of Davis Dam on Highway 163, are ideal for hiking,
camping, photography and exploring. The area is home to a
number of fascinating indian petroglyphs that adorn the canyon’s
sheer cliff walls.
