In the morning you will leave Nevada in the direction of Route 66 and the state of Arizona.

The wild burros and also the real cowboys are looking forward to your visit. The Route 66 Museum in Kingman is on your way, as is the historic General Store in Hackberry. You'll cross the Hualapai Native American Reservation and catch your first glimpse of the western rim of the Grand Canyon. In the small town of Seligman you will visit the store of Angel Delgadillo, probably the most famous barber in the world. He is one of the co-founders of the Route 66 Association and is considered the father of today's Route 66. The end point of your stage today is the town of Williams, which still has much of the "Good Old West" left, with its historic houses and the old entertainment district, right on the Motherroad. You will spend the night almost directly on Route 66 and in the evening you will have the opportunity to dine directly on Route 66.
