Kingman is compact enough to cover on foot. The old downtown along Beale Street holds most of the historic buildings, while the Route 66 Museum is the obvious first stop for anyone driving the Mother Road. From there, a half-day drive west through the Black Mountains to Oatman is the most memorable thing you can do near the city. For something wilder, the Hualapai Mountains to the south offer pine forest and hiking trails that feel a world away from the desert floor.
