| Video Discription | Sitgreaves Pass through Arizona's Black Mountains is the steepest section of Route 66, with grades as much as 12%. Due to all of the hairpin curves through the area, it has long been considered one of the most treacherous sections of the road as well, striking fear in the hearts of many an early traveler. Located between Kingman and Oatman, the road predates Route 66 by decades. The first wagon road over Sitgreaves Pass was built in the 1850s, following earlier Indian trails. It would become part of America's most famous highway in 1926, where for 26 years travelers heading to California would dread crossing this section. The Black Mountains were written about in the book Grapes of Wrath, where it was said they look like the bones of a country. In this video, we are going to explore this section of Route 66 (also known as the Oatman Highway or Oatman Road), stopping to visit some of the overlooked and hidden history along the path.
