route 66, Kingman to Needles

Thinking of a little taste of Route 66. Which would be best; from Kingman to Needles or Needles to Ludlow? Opinions will be appreciated.

    How about AZ66 east of Kingman? Looks like it would be more interesting than the Mojave Desert piece, but without the old mountainous segment of the Oatman route.

    Looks interesting paulj. Others mentioned east of Kingman as well. I will look into this route and west of Needles as well. Thanks to all who responded.
  • Are towing that trailer listed in your signature? The problem section would be from Oatman to just pass Cool Spring heading east. There are some tight curves and narrow road. Here's a link to that section but going west bound, me and my DW.

    If your not bothered by those road conditions, have fun. Kingman to Seligman, Az. has many sight to see if your going that far.
