Jerome, Arizona

Jerome - a mountain town.
Don't fall off of main street.

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.

Jerome humour?
??? - Beside the sign was a truck with a kangaroo statue on the hood.

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 toilet coin toss.
A great fundraiser and a lot of fun!

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 view from the road leading out of town.

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.

The highway leaving Jerome is very curvy and a bit freaky in spots. See how far below the road is?
