Here's a video I did of Kingman to Oatman westbound, you may have to swing wide into the opposite lane to make some of the cruves. On the east end of Oatman is a good place to park your rig, show at the end of the video.
Coming in from the east there is a little veteran memorial at or about MM21, park your rig along the Hwy66 and walk in, its a short walk in.

I enjoyed your video and then took in the others on youtube. It looks as though there are plenty of turnouts so I CAN go slow and let speeders by. It also appears that the turns are wide enough that I won't scrape the mountain sides. Glad I'll be the driver and not the passenger! Thanks for your input! Marsha

Enjoy the trip, take your time and stop and visit the town. Or go through Bullhead City and up over the hills to Kingman.

that's what horn is for - announcing your presence on blind backcountry turns.

We did it in a 23'ft "C". No problem. You just pray when going around a hairpin that something bigger isn't approaching the other way in a hurry.

We have been over the same road.
If you are in a hurry - take a different route!
No hurry? It can be done, go slow and take your time.
Good Luck & Drive Safe!

Just on-line map it........Barstow to Oatman to Kingman and then zoom in on Oatman area.

The routine looks OK until you zoom in......lots of twists/turns

You have heard right. Steep and many switch backs.
