Tombstone and Other Ghost Towns
Distance / Drive Time: 120 mi / 2 hrs 15 min
No visit to the "Old West" would be complete without a
visit to the OK Corral in Tombstone, known as "The Town Too Tough to Die". Visitors can take a walk along Allen Street, the town’s
main thoroughfare, where the ghosts of Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, and Big Nose Kate reputedly still linger. Several museums also
welcome the public and visitors can catch a daily gunfight reenactment. Cochise County, Arizona is home to some 13 ghost
towns, including Pearce, Dos Cabezas, Gleeson, and Courtland. Each town has its own personality and story to tell. Visitors will find
the remains of times gone by, including eerily empty streets, decaying wood-frame buildings, adobe ruins, concrete jails, and elaborate
graveyards.
