I loved the detailed work of the monastery! It looks beautiful and all's made of teak wood. It's pleasant to walk around and just admire the building. There are some shops outside to buy gifts, souvenirs and snacks.
Fun little drive through the desert on a day when you are in no hurry. The store at Cool Springs is fun to look around as well as the landscaping throughout the drive. A lot of switchbacks near Oatman. A few nice overlooks, a working gold mine, and donkeys along the roadside add to the fun of this drive. Just don't be in a big hurry. Life is simple out here.
