After Oatman we will drive to Kingman for lunch and then continue on ‘The Mother Road’ to Seligman for a pit stop. We will head east to Flagstaff, AZ where we will spend two nights. The change from staying at the Grand Canyon to staying in Flagstaff is due to the high room costs and limited number of rooms available for block reservations with the Grand Canyon hotels.
