Located high on top of Cleopatra
Hill between Prescott and Flagstaff is the historic copper mining
town of Jerome. In the old days, Jerome was called the "Wickedest
town in the West" due to gambling and the number of saloons
and brothels. The town sits above what was the largest copper mine
in Arizona and produced an astonishing 3 million pounds of copper
per month.
Today the mines are silent, and
Jerome has become the largest ghost town in America and a
wonderful place for tourist interested in western history and
dessert beauty. Unique lodging, restaurants and shopping gives you
a painted mountain dessert destination.
