As we drove from Sedona to Phoenix, we took a sidetrip to Jerome, Arizona and through the lush Verde Valley. This area is about 90 miles from Phoenix and about 50 miles from Flagstaff.
The Verde River cuts through the valley and a sightseeing train allows one to view it's secrets by rail. You'll find national forests, where hiking, camping and fishing are popular pastimes.
The view of the Verde Valley from atop Cleopatra Mountain was breathtaking! The town of Jerome crowns its heights. To see Verde Valley, you can reach it easily off I-17.

Glad to hear Jerome has come alive and is thriving once again. Being a ghost town is one thing, but just being a depressed area is, well, depressing. I once stayed in an old hotel like that in Virginia City, Nevada. | Maria250 Mon Mar 17, 2008 20:10 UTC

A lovely town with a tainted past. Sounds like my kinda town. hehe! Imagine a room from 1898 with wireless internet connections. The ghosts within must be baffled. | scottishvisitor Wed Jul 11, 2007 18:02 UTC
