Escape the bright lights of Las Vegas for a journey through the Old West on this full-day ghost town adventure. You'll visit three historic ghost towns - Chloride, Oatman and El Dorado Canyon - plus the engineering marvel of Hoover Dam and stretches of legendary Route 66.
Start in Chloride, Arizona, one of the oldest silver mining towns in the state, where you can wander deserted streets and explore quirky remnants from its mining heyday. Continue to Oatman, famous for wild burros roaming freely through town and authentic wooden boardwalks. Step into a classic saloon and watch for locals in period costume bringing the Old West to life. Your final ghost town stop is El Dorado Canyon, where dramatic desert scenery provides the backdrop for tales of prospectors and gold rush legends.
