Jerome - driving from Phoenix by jumpingnorman
Now this is really an unusual place to visit ? with streets at steep angles and houses/buildings perched on the side of the mountain. Jerome used to be a copper-mining town in the 1870?s but then people left, and it virtually became a ghost-town for many years. Today, the place has been repopulated by artists who have taken this place as their refuge from the city.
You can enjoy eating in little restaurants and also shopping around for art.
Follow I-17 to Hwy 260.Camp Verde Exit
