Jerome, AZ

Posted by Ellie on Saturday Apr 2, 2011 Under Travels

On March 30, we left from phoenix and headed to a place were my mom had never been before. We crossed three mountain ranges. Coming down the side of the third mountain, we came to a neat little town called Jerome on the side of the mountain. We saw small houses and a few cars. The houses were all built along the winding road on the side of the mountain. They were built one on top of the other down the side. Then we drove a little farther and saw stores and people. We got even farther and then my mom said, “Look, there’s a big, old hotel over there.” We all looked and we thought it was really cool. Then we stopped and got out to look back at the town.

Jerome was a mining town a hundred years ago. Then everybody left and they called it a ghost town because the buildings were all empty. Now people came back and live there.
