Discover Historic
Treasures In Arizona's Amazing Mining Towns |
|
Arizona’s history and reason for
settlement can be attributed, in large part, to mining. Areas where big “booms”
happened started out strong, but as mining came to an end, many of these towns
began a slow decline in population. In the past few years, many of these towns
have become artist havens and popular tourist spots. Start digging around and
see what you’ll find in these great locales.
 Begin
your journey in north central Arizona in Jerome. Located near
Sedona and literally built on the side of a mountain, Jerome
offers spectacular views of the red rock cliffs in the Verde
Valley. Driving up the winding road, visitors will first see the
old, yet colorful, homes that were built by some of the first
settlers in this nearly mile-high city. Find all kinds of artwork,
from blown glass to metalwork to paintings. Grab a bite to eat at
the Haunted Hamburger and relax with a glass of wine at Jerome
Winery. Overnight at the Connor Hotel, which is said to be
haunted—and before bed, catch a live band in the Spirit Room bar
on the main floor. Just an hour and a half east of Phoenix, you’ll
find the “twin cities” of Globe and Miami.
