If you're traveling on old Route 66 from Kingman, AZ to Oatman, AZ, make sure you stop at the Historic Cool Springs Camp. Its a great photo opportunity.

Cool Springs is on the eastern slope of the Black Mountains. John Steinbeck included a comment on this particular stretch of road in his book, "The Grapes of Wrath". In his book, what was it Pa Joad said about this old road as he looked back at it from the safety of the Colorado River? Didn't he compare those mountains to the bones of a country? This was the Route 66 of the Grapes of Wrath and the Mother Road of Cool Springs.

From the very earliest days, Cool Springs camp and service station was an important stop for motorists traveling Arizona's Route 66. Cool Springs was built in the mid-1920s and has been connected with Route 66 from the very start. The legacy of Cool Springs reflects the larger story of Route 66. The Mother Road gave it life. The hey-day of Route 66 was the hey-day of Cool Springs.
