Visiting Sedona and Jerome, AZ

Decided to take a drive and visit Sedona and Jerome. Sedona is a town with a little over 10,000 people, but many more are part time due to the beautiful scenery and nice climate. We found Sedona a place that we would like to visit again and maybe even spend several months. The scenery is fabulous and the hiking trails are unlimited. This is one great place and a must to see if you ever come to Arizona.

Jerome was a copper mining camp, growing from a settlement of tents to a roaring mining community. Four disastrous fires destroyed large sections of the town during its early history, resulting in the incorporation of the City of Jerome in 1899.  Jerome is now a bustling tourist magnet and artistic community with a population of about 450. It includes a modicum of artists, craft people, musicians, writers, hermits, bed and breakfast owners, museum caretakers, gift shop proprietors and fallen-down-building landlords.
