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.
