Jerome, Arizona, is an old mining town in central Arizona that was once a flourishing community of 15,000 around 1900 but is now just a small tourist-oriented town filled with artist shops and nice restaurants, all perched on the side of steep mountain that over looks the Verde River valley, with the mountains of Flagstaff visible on the far horizon.

We checked out the state historic park and watched a video about the town. We then had lunch at Clickscales and spent a few hours walking around to all of the shops and stores.

Afterwards, we drove to Cottonwood and walked the old town there. We ate an early dinner at a BBQ place and headed home. A great day!
