The remote desert town of Needles has been a popular stopover among travelers over the past century, including its role as a major stop on historic United States Route 66 until the 1960s.

Full of kitsch and old world charm, Wagon Wheel is like a time capsule from a decade gone by. Boasting an Old West theme, you can’t help but love its weirdness, from the classic brown leather cabins to the endless Route 66 decor.
