SUMMARY:An October Afternoon in Jerome
DESCRIPTION:An October Afternoon in JeromeOctober 14\, 2026 \n$145 \n\nOnce known as the “Wickedest Town in the West\,” Jerome sits more than 5\,000 feet above sea level on the steep slopes of Cleopatra Hill. Founded in 1876\, it grew from a copper-mining camp into the fourth-largest city in Arizona Territory\, with a population that once approached 15\,000. After major mining operations ended in 1953\, the population fell below 100\, but artists and preservationists helped give the town a fascinating second life. In 1966\, the Jerome Historic District was designated a National Historic Landmark. \nOctober is an especially fun time to visit this spirited mountain town! Jerome proudly embraces its ghostly reputation\, even presenting an annual October Ghost Walk that brings infamous characters and mysterious tales from its mining days back to life. \nWe’ll begin with an included lunch at the Haunted Hamburger\, a family-owned Jerome favorite known for tasty burgers\, sweeping views of the Verde Valley\, and a ghostly story or two. According to restaurant legend\, hammers mysteriously disappeared during renovations—only to reappear later in conspicuous places—inspiring part of the restaurant’s delightfully haunted lore. \nAfter lunch\, enjoy free time to explore Jerome’s historic streets\, colorful shops\, art galleries\, and wine-tasting rooms. One of the town’s strangest landmarks is the famous Sliding Jail\, which was carried downhill from its original location by the severe ground movement that once plagued the mining town. \nBecause Jerome is built into a steep mountainside\, exploring may include inclines\, uneven sidewalks\, and stairs\, and accessibility can be limited inside some historic buildings. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended\, and guests should consider their personal mobility needs when deciding how much of the town they wish to explore. \nWith its colorful history\, cooler mountain air\, and playfully spooky atmosphere\, Jerome is especially bewitching in October! \nLunch Included \nDepart: Northwest 8:30 a.m. | Phoenix 8:30 a.m. | Scottsdale 8:15 a.m. | Mesa 7:45 a.m.\nReturn: 6:00 p.m. \n\n\n     \n    \n    Please enable javascript in your browser to book\nCancellation Policy — ONE-DAY Van or Motorcoach Tours must be paid for when you make your reservation. Reservations can be made either by phone or online. One-day tours are nonrefundable within 30 days of the tour.Departure Locations —  We can only guarantee pick-up from the locations listed below.
