Amatuer Tour Guide

Not from Arizona, yet wondering where some cool places to visit might be? Well, I'll give you a glimpse of some places where I have been..and some places where I would sure like to be. Even though I'm a native here...I still haven't been to every nook and cranny around.

So let's begin with a place that I would love to go to...Havasupai Falls in The Grand Canyon. While I have been to The Grand Canyon as a child, I have never had the opportunity (or the cardio/fitness level/will) to hike down to the falls and then back up again. So here's a glimpse of the beauty of the falls...

And moving on to our next stop..again a place I haven't been to yet...Tombstone, AZ. You know..where the famous shootout happened at the OK Corral..Wyatt Earp. The town is still alive and well and they do re-enactments of the shootout.



And the next stop on the tour is Jerome, AZ..hey, whaddya know, somewhere I have been! Jerome is an old mining town that has been turned into an artsy town. You can find anything from blown glass to hippie clothing to holy heck this town is on steep hills and there's no way I'd live or work in those old houses sitting on those hills hanging halfway off those cliffs. Jerome is cool and umm, to put it politely "different" all at once.




And the final stop on today's tour is Oatman, AZ..another place that I have been to. Oatman is also a former mining town that is an authentic old western town with burros aka. jackasses roaming the streets and gunfights staged on weekends. And there are lots of shops here to buy whatever your heart may please. Well kinda anyways..this isn't Rodeo Drive here..you find a different kind of jackass roaming along those streets and waaay different places to shop.


So that was your tour for the day, hope you enjoyed it. Have a good time skinny dipping in the falls, dodging bullets at the OK Corral, having the best piece in town at Belgian Jennie's Bordello Bistro and Pizzeria, and roaming among the jackasses in Oatman!
