Jerome Arizona / myLot

United States

One place I always enjoyed going to was Jerome, Arizona which overlooks the Verde Valley on route 89 between Sedona and Prescott. It started out as a mining town but now is more of an artist and tourist community. I always enjoyed the drive up the mountain and the view of the valley below. It is not far from Flagstaff, AZ either.

We have missed Jerome, we went from Phoenix to Sedona, but I think to remember via the freeway.

@LadyDuck If you ever go to Sedona again Jerome is only about 40 minutes from there.

@Jessicalynnt I enjoyed seeing where they used to mine when going up the mountain and I enjoyed going into the different stores and seeing what they had to sell in them also I enjoyed seeing their church.

I've been through Tucson and Phoenix many years ago but never got to go to Flagstaff, I've been told it's a hodytody tourist town for skiers in the winter but this is the first time I've heard of Jerome, I wonder if I'll ever want to travel again, AZ isn't too far off so it would be an interesting road trip. Thanks for the info.

@rebelann If you ever get down that way Flagstaff has a snowbowl if you ski that is up at top of a mountain, I have been up there and it is a nice drive. Jerome is a wonderful town to visit but not very well known. Your are more than welcome, my friend.
