| The old mining town of Jerome |
After four nights of relaxing in our cabin at the Forest Houses Resort, it was time to pack up and move on to the third and final stage of our Arizona roadtrip. We checked out on a Monday morning and headed south down Highway 89, saying farewell to the stunning red cliffs in and around Sedona. The first stop of the day was the old mining town of Jerome. Jerome is an interesting town, located high up in the hills, and many of the old buildings seem to be literally dangling out over the valley below.
Jerome seems to exist now as mostly a tourist stop, but the word out there is that it's becoming a bit of an artist's enclave. I wonder if this is really true, as all the shops and restaurants in town seemed geared (and priced) toward the tourist trade.
