There's a Very Big Pile of Rocks southeast of Town

There are two recreational opportunities of significance near Kingman: Hualapai Mountain State Park and Temple Bar / Lake Mead. The latter is closer to Las Vegas and Boulder City, and really is better covered in one of those locations. Hualapai Mountain is visible from downtown Kingman, and appears to be an impressive place to visit.
Route 66

Kingman Arizona was founded in 1882. Situated in the scenic Hualapai Valley between the Cerbat and Hualapai mountain ranges. It is known for its very modest beginnings as a simple railroad siding near Beale’s Springs in the Middleton Section along the newly constructed route of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad.
Arizona can boast the longest stretch of Route 66 still in existence between Chicago and Los Angeles. Beginning just west of Ashfork and continuing from Seligman through Peach Springs, this stretch of the original road positions Kingman as the "Heart of Historic Route 66."
