Oatman. AZ is often described as a ghost town, but that isn’t quite accurate. The current human population of Oatman, Arizona, is 128. The burro population is close to 2,000!

Oatman is a day trip full of surprises — of ghost towns and ghost roads, wild burros and free-range goldfish. And one of the most scenic drives in the state. Now that's something to bray about.

The ghost town is west of Bagdad at milepost 148 ½ on U.S. 93 between Wickenburg and Kingman. The settlement, now with a population of zero, was established in 1977 by Richard "Buddy" Kenworthy.
