Tombstone, Arizona

Great timing on our visit to Tombstone. We arrived in the middle of HELL-Dorado, Tombstone’s annual celebration. People were dressed up like it was 1881. And there were gunfights in the street all day! The town was packed! If we would have visited any other week, there would have been very few people here.

Big Nose Kate’s Saloon was the place to be for lunch!
