Jerome is a ghost town high up on a mountainside. It was a mining town, but part of the mountain broke away after being mined and eventually artists took over the town and made it the lively place it is today.


There are lots of places to shop, but the best part is the view. Also, I found that Jerome residents have a good sense of humour.


The most fun we had here was tossing coins into a toilet and an outhouse. It’s a fundraiser for – I don’t know what – but it worked. We threw, or tried to throw, all our spare change down there.

The road out of town was very curvy and a bit nerve-wracking in spots. It took us through some mountains on the way to Prescott.
