Arizona preserves the longest unbroken stretch of old Route 66 still drivable, curving northwest from Seligman through Peach Springs to Kingman and on toward the Colorado River. Seligman bills itself as the birthplace of the Route 66 revival, and the road is lined with vintage motels, diners, and trading posts. Beyond Kingman it climbs the tight switchbacks of the Black Mountains to Oatman, a former gold town where wild burros wander the main street.

What is an All-American Road?
All-American Roads are the top tier of America's National Scenic Byways. To earn the title a road has to be a destination in its own right — offering features so exceptional, across several intrinsic qualities (scenic, natural, historic, cultural, archaeological or recreational), that they can't be found anywhere else.
