Jerome History Tour with Sunset Train Ride and

Overnight at the Jerome Grand Hotel 

Sunday, July 20 – Monday, July 21, 2008

On this summer adventure from Tucson, we’ll base overnight in COOLER Jerome, Arizona at 5240 feet elevation at the historic Jerome Grand Hotel. The impressive building was erected in 1926 as the United Verde Hospital serving miners and their families in the entire Verde Valley  area. On Saturday, it’s lunch in the hotel’s award-winning Asylum Restaurant (not included in tour fee), a visit to the Douglas Mansion/Jerome State Historic Park, then the incomparable sunset 4-hour Verde Canyon Railroad trip from Clarkdale to Perkinsville and back along the upper Verde River. Also a visit to Tuzigoot National Monument in Clarkdale to see the impressive 110-room Sinagua pueblo ruin that was occupied between A.D. 1000 and 1400 by this agriculturist culture. On Sunday, it’s some time to roam the many shops and galleries along the town’s main street. Scenic return trip on Sunday will be through Wickenburg with a stop at the extensive Desert Caballeros Western Museum, the “most Western museum in the West.”  In Jerome, daytime high temperatures will be in the low to mid 80’s, early mornings in the 60’s. Tour departs at 6:30 AM on Saturday from Tucson International Airport Park & Save Remote Parking Lot at S. Tucson Boulevard and E. Corona Road, where vehicles can be safely parked for $4 per day. We will return to the same TIA location by 6:00 PM on Sunday. Limited to 8 participants. Guide and Top Tyranno: Stephen H. Buck, Ph.D.
